How much to change springs?

The rear leafs in my 2001 XJ are in need of replacement. I have new springs already, but I don't have the time to put them in myself. How much do you guys think a shop would charge me to put the new ones in if I supply the springs?
 
It kinda depends on whether or not the front spring eye bolts break off inside the "Frame rails", as they are prone to do on older (rusty) XJ's.

I would guess a shop would want AT LEAST 2 hours labor to do this job, maybe more. Shop labor rates nowadays are $65 per hour and up......
 
If they quote a fixed price, they have to quote high enough to cover the "what if" factor. MOre like $150 to $250.

I'm not a shop, but if I were I would not quote a fixed price for this job. I would only do it on the clock.
