Frame widened? Where, and to what purpose? Curious because we don't talk about that aspect often (if at all) around here.
A full custom coil-over setup cost might depend greatly on how often your chosen shop has done it, AND which coilover shocks you choose.
You could reach $5,000 bucks in just shocks alone pretty quick, with maybe $1000 to $1500 being at the bottom end? I don't know, because I have not priced them recently.
Do you have a particular brand of shock you're preferring?
And the rest of the stuff, full custom or off-the-shelf? Full custom (where the shop fabricates the custom arms and everything) and I'd say you're into it for a minimum of $20k or so.
If buying a kit-o-parts that they fab together to suit the particular vehicle, I bet the cost is still in the $10k range easy. If not going to exotic on the shocks that is.
The prices range from mild to wild (with "mild" still being more than most Broncos cost a few years ago), with a shop that does them all the time (even if just on Jeeps) probably coming in at less cost than someone that does not.
Or on the flip side of that, someone that does not do them regularly may under-price the job because they're not aware of what they just got themselves into.
On the other flip-side (you know, where the coin stands on it's edge...%)) a shop might quote high because they DO know what they're getting into. And aren't that interested.
Your Bronco being apart may, or may not be helpful to them if they're going to have to make sure all the plumbing and fixtures are going to be compatible with the sheet metal. Most coil-over setups are going to try to share space with at least some of the body work.
What were you quoted, if you don't mind me asking?
Good luck.
Oh, and I'm with Steve. A coil-over 4-link setup is totally not worth it for 99% of Bronco owners.
But for the 1% it's da bomb!;D
Probably some representation of that theory in WH most recent videos of Moab and the Bronco Safari.
