I thought you got a quote? Are you just doing it yourself instead?
You can get aluminum 4/0 4/0 2/0 through 2" LBs, but one direction is much easier to come from and it also depends on what kind of cable you're using. If you're trying to send through a fully sheathed cable with those 3-4 conductors inside (depending on what you're using) then that will be a nightmare (especially stuff like SEU/SER). I'd use something like THWN/XHHW or something similar that don't come in a sheathing and when you go through LBs, you can "unbraid" the cables and then pass individual conductors through the LB if you are having a hard time. Also what you're running as your service entry cable affects conduit fill; IIRC stuff like SER is calculated differently because from a cubic fill perspective it's just one much larger sheathed cable instead of having 3-4 individual conductors w/o sheathing that are probably sized for conduit fill as individual conductors.
Also don't forget to use antioxidant goop on your connections if you're using aluminum.
I got two quotes for 1600 but they took too Damn long so I went ahead on my own.
The 4/0 are all separate I actually had them in there but the Damn lb popped off and I couldn't get it back on without pulling them. If you say it's possible I'm going to glue them and I'll just be mega fucked if it doesn't work.
