How many hours does it take to install Eibach Springs?

[Lenny Dias 24 AWD]

I'm going to be lowering my Maverick Lariat EB AWD with the Eibach Springs and I'm trying to figure out how many hours it takes to complete it. Those of you that have done it yourselves, If you can let me know how long it took you and those of you who had it done in a shop, if you can let me know how many hours they charged you.

I had a spacer lift kit installed. Watching the YouTube video, it shows them removing the springs to fit the spacers in, then replacing the springs, so installing aftermarket springs should be the same amount of labor. The manufacturer states 3-4 hour install time. I took it to a local offroad shop and they charged me 4 hours x $125 per hour + $99 for a 4 wheel alignment, so $599 total.

It took us about 1.5-2 hrs. But we were using a lift.

Did you have to remove the windshield wipers, plastic tray and other plastic panels to get to the top for the bolts On the strut tower?

It took me about four hours. The front takes longer. I have the Lariat, AWD, Eco. I wasn't willing to pay a shop to do it. I'm very happy with the ride and looks.
