    I have a 2009 TRD Sport and want to install Bilstein 5100 ride height adjustables to level my truck. I have the rear tab done. Who has the best price on either the shocks and/or the shop to install. I got a quote for $920 from Meineke. Outrageous. Help, please.

    I laughed at the guy. He quoted me $600 for the rear. He's crazy.

    Find the best price in the shocks. AZ members are tops for helping get stuff done. Are you looking at just shocks, or thinking about new front springs too?
    Nick, is that an AT2525XL under your truck?

    I ordered the shocks and I should have them by 4/14 or 4/15

    Is there anyone that can give me a hand. I don't have any equipment.

    They installed 5100's on my friends 2005 taco, got em for $100 each with $100 labor. His brother-in-law is a manager there so he probably got a little off but its worth a try.

    Desert Rat Off Road is who I went with. Great job and very happy. It's nice that there is actually someplace out there that is honest and reasonably priced.
