anywhere from 200-400 depending on the labor rate in your area. I'd bet on spending 300 bucks at a tire shop, or 150 at a hot rod place. Don't let them charge you book time, it's a 2 hour job with air tools and a lift.

I was quoted something like $250 by Pep Boys I think it was. I did them myself, but I like telling my wife how much I saved on labor and that softens the blow of how much I spend on parts. They said that they charge based upon a shock and strut replacement plus alignment.

Make sure you thoroughly read some of the guides/procedures online before attempting to do this yourself. It's really not hard per se' but you can seriously injure yourself if you don't know what to do from one step to another. Takes me about an hour with air tools, 2 without.
