    2014 CM 4 1/2 BDS lift bought used Feb 2017 with 28k miles currently. Metal chirping from suspension on rough pavement, potholes, etc.
    Dropping off Mon at Production Off-road for lift inspection, tighten up and lubrication. Also front end alignment check. They have a body shop as well so getting my bushwhacker pocket fender flares painted.
    What is fair value/expectation of cost for lift servicing?
    Fair cost on painting flares?
    Alignment should be about $100 I imagine. Just had it done with new rubber in Feb, only 3k miles since but want to check it anyway.
    Any advice on prices or anything else I should request done while in the shop welcome.
    Also getting exhaust tips powder coated for $75 bucks for two at another location. 75 seemed fair enough.
    Thanks in advance for info or past shared experiences with this.

    Mechanics around me are ~$100 per hour. An alignment should be $60-$70

    Dropped truck early Mon picking up Wed.
    $400 for flares so you were right on the $$$. 500 additional for instal so I'll put them on myself, he said it eats up a lot of time and said better if I do it. 90 for alignment,just had one in Feb with the new rubber but since it's there.....a couple hours labor on the suspension. Said they were going to put it on a lift, inspect everything, drop it, loosen and retighten everything and lubricate the suspension. Ill post again with results. Recommend once a year for all that which sounds legit.

    Capture+_2017-10-11-10-51-16.jpg Work finished on suspension and alignment. Said alignment was way out so glad I had them check it. Leaf springs needed tightened up but everything else looked good. Metal squeek noise was from front sway bar. Metal on metal design. Recommended using
    White lithium grease, what they used, when squeek returns. Total for suspension evaluation, loosen and retighten everything, and front end alignment $200 bucks. Dropping flares when I pick up the truck. I'll post up finished pics when they are done. Also pics of squeek point to spray on the sway bar in case anybody else is having that issue.
