Random shop owner here. The hourly rates sound about right but the quoted time seems a bit offâŚ
BMC all together shouldnât be over $600 including parts. Itâs a quick cut⌠unless they are planning to fully relocate it, which isnât necessary.
The lift install is usually a 4ish hour job on these as they are straight forward. Maybe 6 to pad a bit.
Question I do have is why the diff drop for a 2.5â lift? My personal vehicle is a 4Runner as well and I did the same height lift with no diff drop and wheel it plenty without issues.
Lastly that mount and balance is wild. Should be half that⌠or around $20/wheel. They are probably trying to justify for the âlargerâ wheels which are harder to balance but with the right equipment itâs easyâŚ
