Is this a fair price for an install?

that is extremly high, I had my airbag kit installed and all new bushings, ball joint, and tie rod installed for under 2000
Thats a $400 $500 job here on the high side . If thats the cheapest you find . Do the easy stuff yourself to cut back on costs . Like the sway bar stuff and trans mount .
I pulled the control arms out and brought them to a shop, they did the bushings and ball joints for $150. I did all of the other stuff myself. I think $2250 is very high.

if your going to change the transmission mount you have to also change the engine mounts and vise versa

I'm from detroit, but live in houston, i had a specialty lowrdider shop install them. They added an extra 400 to the bill to do it. The only suspension pieces that needed to be removed for the air bag install would be remove one end of the spindles and tie rods. The rear bags slipped in without removing the control arms. So I payed an extra 400 to have the all bushings put in. You could do alot for 2000 bucks. Put an add on craigslist foe 300 bucks to have someone come over and help you. Pay half to remove, and then half to reinstall. People want extra money and that is an 300 bucks for someone to make in a weekend.
