$800 odd for Shocks
$650 odd for Springs
$200 for a Steering Damper

Not sure if that includes a castor correction kit but that's another few hundred so you're already up to a couple of grand. Plus a wheel alignment. Then there's the labour of fitting and it starts to add up.

A mate and I put a 5 inch lift in mine and that was about two and a half grand and that was at mates rates on the parts and doing the work ourselves.

If you want to do it cheaper, shop around on parts and do it yourself if you can. Otherwise it seems reasonable.
