I've got an '06 Colorado Z71, I5, 4x4 and am having a tb crank done by my local body shop. He's done paint work on my M Roadster and I've developed a good relationship with him and usually tip above and beyond his normal quote. I'm 63 and have spent time in the past doing my own car repairs and have done mods on my Rado but with no air tools and no access to a lift, this one I realistically can't do. The shop owners son has lifted a Silverado and dropped an S10 and really understands suspension and chassis work and is good at what he does. I dropped by for a quote today and he is working one up for me. The following is to be done: Suspension Maxx 2" shackle install, rancho rs 5325 rear shocks, rear brake line spacer, front rancho rs 5300 shocks, differential drop with Susp Maxx spacers and bump stops, and cranking the tb's to level it out. I need to know how many hours labor this might entail if all goes smoothly and what a reasonable cost for labor that might be. I live 60 miles west of Buffalo NY and though there are a lot of Nation members in NY, the closest members that might be able to lend a hand would probably be Rochester which is 3 hours drive time from me.
This time of the year, with single digit temps and record snows, doesn't make this any easier for a DIY. Any knowledgeable responses would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for the replies.
