What is the est time and cost to replace leaf springs on a volvo 780?

How many hours to replace leaf springs?

 

Dealer wants 12 hours labor at $176 per hour.
I realize the dealer is always the most expensive way to go. But I prefer them for some things. Due to the nation wide warranty vs the small local guy. Who says ok bring it back here, when your thousands of miles away.
However it looks like I am going to use them for just diagnostic again.
Calling around to spring and suspension shops in my area for an est.

 

Any work I have ever had done at a dealer. If there was a problem or something not right. I was able to go to any other (same brand) dealer. I wouldnt go to a dealer for something simple or stupid like a hose, tire, starter, etc..

But yes many times over the years. I have gone back to another dealer. To warranty something. It's usually 1 year on parts and labor.

 

Dealer said they could replace bushing only. But my springs are so far gone. They are almost flat.
There are 4 bushings but two of they come pre pressed (installed) with new springs.
Anyway now dealer is saying. Because truck is a 2013 with over a million miles. They want 12 hours just in case. But wont bill me for 12 (ya right) if it takes significantly less time.
( sounds like bull to me because dealer has always charged book time)
