50 to 450 bucks, or more. Depends on what you do. Cut the coils and get blocks = $50. Drop coils and blocks = $150. Drop coils, rear spring hangers/shackles = $250. Drop A-arms, hangers/shackles and shocks = $450, maybe more. You get the idea.

There is no way, that the lowest price for a 2 inch drop is 1200 dollars. You can go out and buy blocks for 30 and get them installed for cheap as well.

BT, you are talking about the back right? Or the whole truck two inches. Either way you can get away with ALOT less than $1200.

The thing is, you really need to go into the place having a solid idea of what you want done.

As a matter of fact, I went around to different shops today asking about the cost and I got anywhere from $250 dollars to $1400 dollars.

You "I found the lowest price" guys need to find an honest, reputable shop that knows how to do the job correctly. The lower control arms for the front will cost about $400.00 and some change. The 2" block kit for the rear is about $90.00. The labor to do the installation in our shop will be $60.00 per hour. Approximately 3.5 to 4 hours to complete. Do the math. In Georgia with tax that comes to around $773.80. It will ride and drive correctly. Your ride will remain reliable and safe for you and the other people on the road. Plus, it will not make the vehicle worthless because it was hacked on by someone posing as a mechanic with the skills needed to modify your ride. $312.00????? Run, run fast. Just as PYE said in his post YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!!! I know you guys work hard for your money but learn about your ride so you can make informed decisions about modifying your rides. If you don’t care, buy a booming system roll down the windows and do what you do best……. POSE.
