That is a really steep install price. With a lift, the sway bars should install in about 45 to 60 minutes with air tools. I installed my sway bars and HKS exhaust in just under 2 hours on a lift.

I paid Firestone around $50 to install both front and rear. It is a 45 minute job at the most. Tell them to shove it!
