    I purchased my Bilstein Front Adjustable Shocks, Bilstein Rear Shocks, and Supreme Suspension 1" Rear Lift Blocks. I planned to do the installation myself but succumbed to a lower back injury and don't think I can do this now.

    I'm searching for an experienced person to do the installation for me.

    2x Bilstein B8 5100 #
    $130 24-263108 Bilstein 24263108 Shock Absorber
    24-263108 Front Ride Height Adjustable (set to 1.55")
    2x Bilstein B8 5100 #
    $91 24-186728 5100 Series Shock Absorber
    24-186728 Rear Shocks
    2x Supreme Suspension 1.0" Rear Lift Blocks

    Let me know if you are interested in doing this. Timeframe and Costs?

    Thanks
    Steve

    I had an amazing time with Kevin yesterday as he took great care in installing my Bilstein kit. Kevin is an awesome man and is well talented, efficient and great attention to detail. Yes he definitely knows Taco suspensions as well as fabrication and modifications.

    My confidence level with Kevin is extremely high and I’m glad to have not gone to any other shop to get my work done. It was definitely well worth the drive for me.

    Thanks Kevin!
