Rear tire carrier with 3rd brake light ( this would be installed on an HR Bumper) $1170
Maximus hoop with light bracket $443
IPF Driving lights $627
TPMS sensors $543
AEV wheels $1,175
35" Duratracs M+B $1,734
Alignment and road test $109

That price for the lift kit should include labor, right?

TPMS sensors is very high. I bought mine for same 35" Duratrack tires all 5 were less than $100.

Tire carrier seems expensive, other than that prices are acceptable for dealerships, you can do it cheaper elsewhere but you would need to go with different parts because Mopar or OEM brand prices are always higher

Kit is about 2250
-I paid 500 for the same setup a couple years back minus the hi steer kit. and i paid 600 for a rk max travel installed w/ alignment.


Rear tire carrier with 3rd brake light ( this would be installed on an HR Bumper) $1170
-Tire carrier is 790, and the brake light is about 50-100 depending on brand.
Install should be 200-250 max



TPMS sensors $543
-Get these from amazon. I paid less than $50 last year and my sensors are still going strong with no issues.


Shipping $200

You're going to pay far out the ass from a dealership. Independent shops will still be expensive. DiY is cheap if you know what you're doing and have the tools you need. The expensive part is learning what you're doing and acquiring what you need to do the job. I like working on my vehicles, so the tools and time required have a very small cost for me... I like the work and I have had the tools for decades. If you view it as actual work and don't know what you're doing, the cost of having the dealership do it becomes much more reasonable. There is of course a comfortable medium. Go down the list and find the stuff you can do and DiY that. If you can't do it, look for an independent shop that can do it and throw it out there to the dealership that you're going to save a bunch by buying yourself then having someone else do the labor. See if they drop the price, but don't hold your breath.
In the end, I guess you can save a ton doing the easy stuff yourself and just having the lift done at the dealership (warranty?) and the rest do yourself. Depends on how much you value your time.
