My opinion; free to lower it yourself; $350 for corner balance and align.

Trader, is it just me or is it only the front that is high. What are the wheel arch measurements front and back?

My guy in NJ charged $250 flat fee for the lowering and sent it around the corner to a trusted guy for the alignment which was around $100, so $350 all in....

that thing looks like a stump jumper, a winch's weight will help lower it a bit. warn makes a good unit.
lowering the front is easy, not to shine an apple but get wyanes book. very good chapters on that very project.

just crank out the front adjuster bolts to drop the front. it may be ok with just the front dropped, the wheels will toe in, so that would need to be adjusted. sometimes you run out of adjustment with the bolt, so the adjustment lever needs to be moved one spline on the torsion bar. best done on a rack.

I paid around $400 (in the SF Bay Area) to lower (factory adjustable rear spring plates), align & corner balance.
