I just received my mini lift from Greg/Jen and I went to my local Nissan dealer to inquire about having them install it. I told them that it is taking the average person in their driveway about 2 hrs to install the front. I assume that it would not take the dealer that long. He is quoting me no more than $375 to install the front, rear and alignment. Their shop rate is about $80/hr and $70 to do the alignment. So my question to all of you is, am I being bent over or this about what everyone else is paying (for those of you who are not doing it themselves)? Any suggestions? Thanks.

My math (not always accurate) says that's 4 hours labor to install plus the alignment. If it takes him that long. If he can do it in 2, you're looking at $230. Those are dealer labor rates. I would check some Off Road shops around town, if you have any, or some other repair shops. I have heard of a tire dealer in this area who installed a Daystar kit for $75 a side. You just have to shop around.

Where you located, 04SECC? Another member might be able to help you do this yourself. It's really not that hard.

I am located in the Philadelphia suburbs. So if anyone can recommend a place in this general area who does this work, please let me know. Thanks
