Hours on labour quoted

[JustinJ]

Hello folks,

How many hours of labour were you quoted for adding a suspension lift kit and LED front light swap each? Also front bumper change?

Thanks for sharing

I had a suspension lift done recently. It took them six hours, one less than the instructions quote, and it was a flat $900.

That is a loaded question. There are lifts that take a day and lifts that take a week. It also depends on where you live and how much competition the area has.

Bumpers are easy to do yourself or expect 3+ hours labor at 125-200/hr.

Depends on the lift kit. Bumper you should do yourself. Same with the lights.

A spacer lift kit

That should be done in someone's garage.

A shop will probably charge 2-3 hours.

again kind of depends on the spacer kit. coils need to come out so no different than an actual coil lift and some need shocks replaced or extensions and same with sway bar links..if just going with 1" pucks that should take no more than 2 hours max. super easy to do. if something like an AEV 2" spacer kit that will take a maybe 3 hours. Having a new jeep like your avatar is showing makes it easy as nothing is rusted yet....

No more than 4 hours imo. And if they do charge 4 hours or more make sure they include re-torquing all control arms back to spec while jeep is on the ground.

If you’re going to cheap out on the lift you should be installing it yourself.

Otherwise you’re going to take $200 worth of parts and spend 3-5x that to have it done. It’s simple work, you and a friend can do it in pretty good time with basic hand tools.

That's a suspension lift including four control arms. You didn't specify a spacer lift until later in the thread.
