Bilstein Install

Hey Guys, I am located in the Loveland / Fort Collins area and want to get my Bilstein 5100s installed. I got a dealer quote over $300 for both not including the alignment. Does anyone know of a reputable shop or business in the area that's cheaper?

Thanks,
Sergio

 

Rent a spring compressor tool from advance or autozone for free and buy a friend a case of beer. Really easy to do with another person helping.

 

I did it myself with a spring compressor I borrowed from a buddy. It was pretty straight forward and only requires minimal mechanical knowledge. Definitely not worth $300

 

^^^ same thing. did it myself and took like 2 hours.

 

You can also take the struts off and have a muffler shop switch the springs, $40 or so. If you don't have tools or don't feel like messing with it $300 is not a horrible price seeing most shops get $75-$95 an hour.

 

My brother and I installed them today. We also put on Cooper St Maxx's mounted on my stock rims. These with the Bilstein 5100 shocks are an awesome combo. The thing rides sweet! There is such a difference between these and the stock shocks. Oh, and I saved $300 bucks.

Sweet! Where are the pictures?

 

I second this! I have been considering this for my truck!

 

I was waiting to wash it and get some good pics outside. Here's a few in the mean time.

Looks good! Did you get the 255/85/16 cooper st maxx's? I'm running the st's in that size and so far I love um

 

I am running the 265/75/16. I took it to the dealer today for an alignment. They washed and I took advantage of grabbing a few pictures.

 

Lookin good man!
