Depends

It is a bit much for 2 bags of cement but if it is done as you say that is very reasonable

That price sounds ok, i found it works out alot cheaper if you do all the work your self, its not all that hard.🙂

it all depends on what they are fitting!!!! if its just an adjustable front beam and the springplates down a few notches then its not that cheap!!! cause once u get down +4" then expect not to be able to change the rear tyres without multiple jacks and fully defalting the tyres!!! the fix there is adjustable springplates!!! i just got some off indian automotive and they work atreat!!!!
also expect that u wont be able to run standard size tyres as u will bottom out at the front!! (well i did)
all these little things!!
cheers

hey CBB and indian do pretty much the same work its just a matter of practicality i use indian only cause i find them more practical for me!!! ask them if it includes adjustable springplates or not!!! (i got a set will set u back about $230 or so!!)

Make sure you go the extra and get torsion bar stiffeners..about $300...Makes the front end a whole new deal as far as lo and not bottoming..Kimm at Indian will explain all...
