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

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

it aint just cool its aircool'd
