all hes doing is installing my td's tho, hes not making me a td set up.....hes ganna have to fab stuff up to make them work but the tds are already welded together and their!...i thought it was alot for that, but wow i dont feel soo bad now
Hmm. Okay, I sort of figured if they had to modify it to a certain extent it wouldn't be too far from a fabricated system. My quote was to fabricate TDs over the axle and out back. Good luck anyway; hope it works out well.
reguardless hes got to change what you broght in to make it fit, and thats time and labor so 250 isnt really that bad. considering most shops charge around 75 bux for labor, I would guess a shop would probally look at around 2-3 hrs for the job, so thats 150-225 for labor alone, plus any extra pipes and whatnot he needed and clamps exc
