Does that $800 just include springs, C/C plates, and labor? You can get excellent springs and C/C plates for $400-450. In my experience it only takes 2-3 hours for ME to install those parts, so it should take a professional with a lift and all the right tools a bit less. If a front end alignment is also included in that price then it is reasonable, maybe slightly on the high side.
The only tricky part about the whole install is the front springs are sometimes a pain to get in without the Ford compressor and most other compressors won't work due to space constraints in there. I just shoved the control arm way down and kicked the spring into place and jacked it up on my '79, but whether this will work or not depends on the length of the springs as it can be dangerous while jacking them up if they are not seated properly. Everything else is very easy and straightforward. If you do it yourself you can save yourself a couple hundred bucks.
