    Had my 5100's installed on Saturday. They are set at 2.5 with the rear spring TSB. Loving it. Thanks Marco and DownSouth Motor Sports!

    Flynn, What size are your wheels and tires? I like the look. My 5100's will be here on Thursday. I see it says "bolt on installation", Anyone know how easy the "bolt on" is?

    Godofspeed, when did you call? I just checked my VM's again, and I don't have any messages. We're out of stock, but just PM us, or shoot us an email with your name and contact info, and we'll add your name to the list.

    Thank you,
    Marco

    I did it in my garage last night with just a floor jack. Easiest strut and shock install I have ever done. Only special tool required is a spring compressor for the fronts. Spring compressor is a MUST if you don't like getting your head blown off by suspension parts. The fronts come out as a unit with the springs and struts attached to each other so if you don't want to buy or rent a spring compressor, or you don't feel comfortable using one, you can get in another vehicle and take the new struts and the old strut/spring assembly to the nearest auto shop and they will probably swap out the springs to the new struts for the cost of about 10-20 mins of shop labor. Other than that it is all basic bolt on stuff.

    Also make sure you get an alignment afterward or your front tires will wear out unevenly.
