    i am interested in getting the bilstein 5100 shocks . My dad doesnt want me to lift my truck cause of gas mileage but i was planning on getting the bilstein shocks because they are adjustable and i can lower it back to stock when he comes home cause he is a fisherman :) is it hardd to adjust the shocks? could i do it myself?

    Youll need a spring compressor, The lift wont affect your mileage. If you get bigger tires then itll affect your mileage

    he has all these reasons why not to lift my truck. he says that toyota spent all this money on researching specific dimensions on how it would run the best and people mess it up by lifting it haha i just laughh in his face. :)
