    OK... just an added note with photos taken at Jason's (Speed Freek's) Vista shop where my 2010 Tacoma just got fitted with Ride Rite Air Bag (Spring Helpers) that I had on my 2005 Tacoma and saved when I traded it in on the 2010, just in case it needed them. Well, after 5 1/2 years and 75,000 miles, it was time... the springs seemed to be getting a bit soft compared to when it was new.

    Today, when Jason removed the rear tires we could see that one of the stock Bilstein shocks had bled-out its oil content and the other was damaged, at least the outside was. Maybe it was these bad shocks which made it seem like my springs were weak? In any case, I have a set of Bilstein 5100s on order (a Father's Day gift) and will have Jason install them when they arrive.

    Here are the photos, first the stock bump stops, where the air bags will go, then the shocks, then the air bags being installed. Jason works quickly so didn't get him to pose for a photo! See him in action... Oh, and with 20 psi in the air bags, my truck lifted 3 inches!!!

    Thanks Dave, glad I could find some hardware to replace the missing parts from when the last guy removed the kit from your old truck, sorry for the mismatched bolts haha.

    Once we get those shocks put in it wont ride like a horse and buggy! The rear was really bouncy after we were done, those shocks are now simply there for cosmetic purposes only. Once those are replaced your wife is gonna be happy to ride in the truck again!!

    Thanks for coming to me for the work David, always a pleasure!

    Thank you, it worked out perfectly timewise. Had time to cut out the plates with my plasma before you got here.
    I appreciate you for choosing me to do it for you, I think you are around the #25-30th one I have done so far.
    Thanks for the pic, nice timing with an arc shot even. If I can ever do anything for you the future or just have a question dont hesitate to ask!
