Could you have done it for a fraction of the price? yup but shops will usually charge you more that it would cost you to get the parts retail and there is a lot of labor in there.
I could've done this myself the problem was I don't have the room right now and the time to do this, I needed the truck.I was in a bind so I decided to have someone take care of it and I already knew the lines were shot I looked at them over last summer and saw they were really bad,I was going to wait till this summer to replace them.

Price sounds about right to be honest. Sitting there and bending all the lines etc. is labor intensive and if they bought the prebent ones its even more cost.
