I called up an off road shop in magnolia called texas truckworks to see if they can weld up my new lower control arm mounts, they need to take the old ones off and install the new ones. They quoted me 270 bucks out the door. I would do it myself but dont have a welder, This sound like a good price? i was figuring 150 but if its hard to set it up correctly i'll spend the coin on it, just wanted to know yalls opinion on that first.

Whats thier shop rate cus ours is $96.00hr and that seems kinds high to me for that job. here would be two hours max or $192.00. its not a technical job cut off the old and install the new ones , they go back in the same place. anyway rant off just hate to see price abuse.
