I was quoted roughly $2300 by Firestone.
That's a relatively easy DIY job by the way. Basic tools and a few rentals from Autozone/Advanced/Pepboys/etc and maybe 3 - 4 hours if you take your time. I did upper/lower ball joints and sway bar links on my beater truck (Ranger) and the inner/outer tie rod ends on the gf's Silverado in the same afternoon. Probably spent less than $300 on both trucks.
GM needs to learn to stop putting compact truck tie-rods in their full sizes. Did outer tie-rods and new ball joints on a friends 2500 4x4 and the OEM parts are pathetic compared to Ford, Dodge, and the replacement Moog parts.

Doing the ball joints makes it take a good while longer. 8 big arse rivets per side.
