Cost of bilstein install

[Stlram21]

Just trying to get a gauge on what you guys have paid at shops in your area to have your bilsteins installed, with alignment or without? I called one local shop and they said $380 with alignment and I thought that sounded a bit high. I know it will vary depending on geographical location but any info would be appreciated so I can get an average cost and not overpay. If that approximate price is the norm, I'd say it might be a case of beer, free weekend and help from a buddy to grab tools kind of project lol.

a alignment around here runs about $75-100, and its a good 2-4 hour install if you dont run into any hiccups. shop that did my old truck was hourly @ $100 and it took them 8 hours to do it but I only ended up having to pay them $200+ a couple cases of the good stuff.

I'll find out tomorrow. I just got my Bilstein 5100 in the mail today. Got a good quote rate at Midas actually. 4wparts said @90 each. Not positive about the alignment there.
I'll post what I paid in Silicon Valley later

Who are you guys having install them? Lift shops or just normal auto repair places?

I had mine done at a local auto repair shop.

My Midas **** the bed. They couldn't figure out how to remove the spring sleeve flange from the stock shocks. They just left it stock and didn't charge me. That's the good news.
The bad news is they would've charged the dodge estimate time labor rate fee. =2.3 hours
So it's probably safe to say 2.3 times what your local shop charges.

About 3 hours in my garage worth of free labor. Then the $100 alignment
