brobradh77 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) Kind of high IMO as well. I had the help of PimpSS and Mr. P for my 2/2 spindles/shackels and it took a little over an hour. maybe someone on here will help ya and y'all can do it for a dinner instead of $1600 Edited August 5, 2007 by brobradh77 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr82sxs Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 did all the work myself and help from a buddy of mine.. look for someone local on the forum and maybe you can get away with buying someone a case of beer instead of paying $1600 for installation. good luck!

pimp ss Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 obviously the shop you talked to did not know anything because to go 2 inches in back all you need is some 40.00 shackles if you did hangers too it would be 4 inches the mcgauhys kit was 379.00 on ebay and we installed it one day after work it is 2 inch spindles and shackles and hangers rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's super high/freakin' off the chart. Trailblazers in Lexington charged me $200 for labor to do the drop. I purhased the parts off the web. I went with a 2" drop spindles and 2" shackles. Parts were around $400 with shocks so total cost of $600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
