Your suspension lift kit details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
A lift kit is more than springs, a safe, legal lift often needs a diff drop, extended brake lines, caster correction and a wheel alignment. Lifts beyond the legal limit need engineering certification.
💰 Ways to save
- Aftermarket parts are cheaper than genuine and fine for most jobs, ask your mechanic which matters here.
- Do related wear parts at the same time while the area is already apart, it saves a second labour charge.
- Get a couple of quotes, labour rates and parts mark-ups vary a lot between workshops.
