    Not a hard job if you want to do yourself.
    Personally I bout my Bilsteins out of the US from Shockwarehouse, less 1/2 the price of buying here including air freight. On my doorstep in 4 days. I would buy King springs with the lift, If you buy from Coventry's - Covs they will usually give them to you at trade.
    Been a couple of years since I did mine. My set up cost me around $900 total and included 4 x shocks out of the US, 4 x King Springs from Covs, Poly Airs and a few tools. If you get someone to supply and install this set up you will be up over $2k.
    All you really need to do this is a good trolley jack, a good set of spanners and sockets and a drill.
    Cheers

    4WD Systems at Holden Hill might have them.

    I went with Suspension Stuff in the end and happy..
