    Howdy. I've been driving around with a set of 5100s and an aal in the back of the truck for the last couple weeks. I keep thinking I'll have time to get it installed, but it hasn't happened and I'm out of commission for a couple weeks due to a minor surgery. I'm happy to pay a reasonable amount to get it installed, I just don't happen to think that 500 bucks is a reasonable amount! I hate paying for stuff I can do myself, even if I'd struggle through it, and I realistically won't be able to touch it until thanksgiving. Anybody have a recommendation for a reasonable shop? Or want to make some extra cash on a weekend? Thanks for any advice. Matt

    I could lend a hand, but I can't do it myself. I've had surgery on both shoulders since July and don't have the strength yet. I've got an AAL and some bushings to replace on my Waggy, and just waiting to get the arm strength back. Good luck!

    Rears arent hard, AAL is OK on the 3 pack, if you have a 4 pack grinding is required depending on your AAL. Front takes a little more time. I recommend the 'no spring compressor' method of loosening the alignment cams and lower control arm, unbolting from the top, and decompressing the spring with a jack.
