I really want to do it myself but I am worried about the Springs and properly torquing everything.

Torquing bolts lol, everything on this job will work on will be fine if you get them tight. Do you think a shop is going to break out the torque wrench and look at the specs for suspension parts lol. The springs should be fine, just go slow and take your time lowering the control arms. Dont be an idiot and try to rush, otherwise you will get hurt.

thats high...my labor rates dont change on customer supplied part's.

there is no torque on the springs. the fronts will be the hardest of them all.

i suggest finding a different shop.

I thought with SFC though the weight had to be on the wheels when you install them, that means lift, no? I guess it doesn't matter thought cause I'm not a welder.
