<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>After the discussion about crosswinds and shocks, I looked at mine and they are worn out.&nbsp; I want to get the Bilsteins and have them installed locally.&nbsp; I called one place and was quoted $300 in labor,&nbsp; a different place quoted $48.&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Does anyone know a ballpark estimate for the labor charged to install all four shocks?&nbsp;&nbsp; </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Is there something "special" about a vanagon's shocks, or can a "ma and pa" shop do it?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Sure, I'd love to take a week off of work and drive out to CA and have the nice guys at Van-Cafe do it, but my boss thinks otherwise.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any input is appreciated.&nbsp; I live in Cheyenne, WY if that matters.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Thanks, </DIV>
