    Sweet thanks! Im in Rialto. I just looked on ebay and I saw a full set for 349.99 which I thought wasn't too bad at all. Just install and wasnt sure about springs. I did suspensionion work years ago lowering my old mustang and swore I never wanted to mess with it again..

    If you’ve done any suspension work in the past I’d say you can do these. I swapped my coils and front 5100s by myself and it was my first time doing suspension work. Spring compressor isn’t necessary if you use the weight of the vehicle. Even took apart stock spring and strut to get the top hat deal to reuse. No issues at all. Floor jack and up to 22mm sockets. Check the YouTube install videos. Took about 2 hours with taking my time. Then take it in for an alignment

    Thanks for the advice. May just have to do it myself or if someone local wants to help. Seems easy enough then. I'll look into the vieos on YouTube to see how difficult/easy it will be

    Call Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road, they’re In Hemet. A lot of positive recommendations from TW. Great tech and application info and prices. With my budget, I installed a single Dakar AAL in back along with four 5100’s (kept OEM coils). I offroad a lot, have a heavy shell and RTT, and tow a trailer as well, so I also ended up adding Firestone airshocks, but they weren’t necessary before the trailer, because it rode really well on and offroad that way.

    Yeah very true. I dont know much about the different lb rated coils. I hope I don't need to do the ECGS bushing but I have heard of some guys needing to do them
