I'm guessing that is a Toyota shop price. I had a broken leaf in one of my rear shocks on my '95 taco, so for chits and giggles I called toyota to get a price on "just" the shocks.
IIRC, it was right at $800. That didn't include my cost for a 6 hr round trip to get them. Add 2.5 hours of shop time each (5 hrs total) @ $125 per hour and one gets close.
Like I said - chits and giggles. Obviously not the route I selected.
