Just do it yourself. Way cheaper. The rears are way easy. I did that look on the site and took my time started @ 9 ish finished by 3 with a meal break. Took a shower and took off to go pick up some strippers.

Easy peazee, like they said above, just take the front assemblies to a shop, I took mine to a Minekee too, I asked them if they would do something simple for me for a little side cash & the guy was like 'sure' I think I paid like $20-40 cash to get the springs swapped out.

I just finished the front of mine and will do the rears tomorrow. The nut on the strut was rusted on. I had to grind the nut down. That took more time then the rest of the work. It's a good thing I ordered new struts and shocks. I was going to run them up to a shop and have them swapped in the morning but I just couldn't wait. Put the old ones in the bench vise and wrapped a ratchet strap around it and it worked perfect.
