    I am taking my Tacoma in today to have 5100's (all 4 corners) and the AAL installed..
    Now my question:
    What is a fair price to do this? I already have all the parts, they will be charging for Labor only...?

    Thanks for the help..

    I would guess around $300 if you get it aligned too

    Here's my final bill for those interested in doing something similar...
    $300 (4) 5100 adjustable shocks
    $98 1.5" AAL in the rear
    $170 labor charge (install)
    $950 alignment and tires (275x75x17)
    -$600 credit for the stock tires

    Drive out price is under 1k..
    I kept the factory wheels for now
    I am debating putting wheel spacers....
    Thanks for the help

    I had the exact same set up done on my 12 DCLB 3 weeks ago. It was done by a Toyota mech. at the Toyota dealership. With that said, he did it on the side for $200. Alignment and all, but was under the table. Im sure this wont help too much, but it never hurts to make buddies in the maint. shop. These guys want some extra cash also and who knows the truck better than the ones who do it for a living. Just a thought!!! Good luck and would love to see the pics:D

    The ride is great.. It's as good maybe a little better.
    Just got back from hunting and choir 1000K miles on it.
    The ride was good, I was impressed with it on the road and off

    Now all I need to figure out is how to get better millage

    sounds about right! cost me 160 to have mine put in with the AAL... did the rear FOX 2.0 reservoirs myself though, super easy.

    What's a good AAL to go with? I just got the 5100's for christmas and waiting to get everything put on until I do it all at once, tires shocks etc... I'm just trying to level the truck out is all. I don't have TSB in the rear so I'm wondering if I should go with a AAL or just sit the fronts at 1.75 or 0.85?

    Technical Service Bulletin in this case means Toyota will replace the 3 leaf pack with a 4 leaf pack if you complain about a "harsh ride with a load".

    I went with the 1.5" AAL and my truck is not level... It still has a little rake to it which is what I wanted so that when I haul something my lights are not pointing up....
