I was wondering if anyone knew of a reputable shop to install a drop kit on my 05 silverado? I just moved to Austin and i dont know any shops here. I would install it myself but i would have to drive 8 hours back home to my shop and back and I figured i would save myself some time and help out a local business at the same time. Im not looking for anything extreme just a 2/4. I did my a 3/4 on my old truck and i really liked it and want to do the same on this one. thanks for any help.

Ive also included my a picture of my old truck, my new truck is identical to it

 

4 wheel parts did my drop years ago.and the price was very reasonable

 

Awesome, thank you

 

I went by there today and they quoted me $3500 for a 4/6 drop installed. Now that does include installation, and an alignment. Now for someone who has always done their own work and never have taken anything to a shop to have work done, that seems pretty high. The kit was for a beltech kit and i know what the kit cost. So is that and average price? high low?

 

im not from the area but that seems outrageously high! i mean a belltech kit depending on which one you go with will be between $400-$800 max..so im sure its not that much labor involved..but thats just my opinion

 

Yeah i know thats about what the kit cost. They told me they charge $110/hr which i thought was crazy. I have dropped trucks before and i know its not that hard and i would do it myself but i dont have my own shop her yet and would have to drive 8 hours home back to my old shop. I may just have to take the drive and do it myself

 

That's a fked up price.

A shop with a lift should be able to springs/spindles and a notch in a matter of hours.

I paid $300 for my spring/spindle install. The flip I did myself and the notch I did in the driveway with a sawzall and cutoff wheel. The notch REALLY isn't that hard. It's drilling the holes that's the pain but with the right drill bits, it's not even terrible.

 

The price shouldn't be any more than HALF of what they quoted lol.

 

i think i paid like $800 for mine..

 

If I had all my tools here i would do it myself. I know its not that hard and i have dont it before. But anyway i did find a place here called Pick up Heaven that said they would do it out the door for $1500. Now that includes all the parts (upper and lower control arms, c notch, flip kit, all 4 drop shocks, and an alignment) plus install. Labor will be about $450 which i figured is reasonable, because it would cost me almost that much to get back home and back to my own shop to do it myself
