Cool Installing rear sway bar fr3

I bought a rear sway bar (roadmaster 1139-45) for our 2018 fr3 30ds. From the video it looks like, if we had the equipment it should be a 30 minute job. I've called a couple of service centers for estimates for labor.

The place we bought it said around $700.

A Ford SS said it would take 3-4 hours at $145/hour.

One service center said about $250, but when I called back I was told they don't install after market parts because of liability.

What gives? Where can it take it?

It took more then 30 minutes when I did the one on my F53 chassis I would say you are going to pay a minimum of 2 hr labor.

I can't remember anymore it did have polyurethane bushings and was much heavier than the stock one. I also replaced the bushings in the front bar also.

Labor

Camping World charged me $198. It's simple but there is some drilling.
