Pretty straight forward. I don’t have a lift nor have I had the time to install my CJ PP lowering springs
I brought it to my mechanic next to my job
They charged me $830 dollars to install front and rear springs. They said the job specs out to 7.5 hours in the computer.
I checked on progress and they did it in what they said was 5 hours but charged for “2 men” for a portion. FYI labor rate was $115 an hour.
They said they had a tough time and was a lot of work. Had to take everything apart for the rear suspension and the front were like doing struts.
Am I crazy or are people reporting driveway installs in 4 hours. CJ PP video said 2 hours.
I need opinions and I need any thought on how to handle this.
Btw the car looks amazing but drives like crap now. However I didn’t go for an alignment yet I hope that fixes the issues I’m having. Car doesn’t feel right.
Ppl say no alignment needed however Who knows how much they took apart and put back together to throw off the alignment.
