So a local dealer to Austin is putting a lift kit on all their incoming Land Cruiser. I will admit that it looks pretty slick. However, it's listed as a 9k dealer installed up charge. I'm not sure everything they are doing, but I do know that they are putting 35 inch tires on it. How much should something like this actually cost?
How much should a lift kit cost?

I’m assuming it’s this for about 500$

Accommodates 35” tires.

Dealer thinks they're clever sneaking their markup into a lift install that should cost at most $1500 (parts and labor).
A lift with 35’s looks good, if it’s not done properly you’ll wish you hadn’t.
All depends what 'lift' it is.
Could be a simple $500 spacer kit, could be a full suspension kit with coilovers, shocks, upper control arms etc. For 9k, you would hope the latter.

Also, how much would a set of good 35 inch tires cost?
1500-2k? (Plus install, balance, TPMS)
All this stuff is at dealer cost and not retail. 9K for a lift- these parts should be gold plated!

So it is a suspension lift. I'm trying to see how much it would cost me to do after the fact. They said that the "lift" cost can be negotiated. Trying to figure out at what cost it's worth to me for negotiating reasons.
I would think a lift with parts and labor plus tires and wheels should run at the most 5K.
LandCruiser 200 rear coils fit, that's what Westcott used.

The only part mentioned was hub centric spacer OEM.
They used OME 722 for a 0.75" rear lift. (To partner with their 2.5" front lift)
Brand wont make any difference, as long as its 200 series coils, and then simply pick the desired height.
