new shocks or would it be cheaper to do the install all at once?

Default Cheaper to do it all at once...

...as you only pay for ONE installation charge. If you do them separately, you'll need to take the springs out again to put the shocks in.

Default The main reason is the doubling of labor costs

Exactly the same work needs to be done to replace springs or shocks and springs AND shocks. Your cost difference then is whatever you pay to have either done once.

Default Do the install yourself .... then you can do one at a time.

Its easy to do, just takes several hours.

Default And suspension installs (especially w/alignment) are not cheap. Typically close to $300 w/align.

Doing it twice adds quite a bit to your true total cost for the suspension. I'd live with stock until I can afford to do it all at once.
