Where to put on bilsteins

Where can I get my bilstein 5100s on all fours put on? And an add a leaf.
How much will this cost??

 

Just do it yourself! All you need are some jacks and basic tools.. I.E. Impact sockets wrenches hammers blah blah...much cheaper and pretty easy!if you are buying your front C/Os not put together you will need a spring press, but most auto places have one.

 

I'm not getting coil overs. Just bilstein struts in front and shocks in the back. With an aal

 

X2! Coilovers or not, it's really simple. There's a write up on here that guides you, step by step, on how to do it

 

I'm not good with cars at all though;(

 

I PM'd chris4x4 to see if he could put the pics back in this thread.

Do you already have the 5100's and the aal?

 

Its not that hard! I think its like 10 bolts for all of the chocks and for the AAL you just clamp the old leafs together then unscrew the 2 bolts and then put the AAL leaf on..... Walllllla

 

If you are *really* that scared of doing it yourself, just take it to ANY local shop, they'll do it for you.

But seriously, save yourself the $100 or $200 for someone else to loosen 10 bolts, and do it yourself. Go to an auto parts store and rent a spring press. Kragen rents tools for free (at least some do). The hardest part will be the rear AALs, as the U-bolts might be seized, and hard to get off, other than that, it should be pretty easy.

 

Pb plaster????? ^^^^^^ this

 

The AAL's are a bitch to do by yourself. Its not hard but needs an extra hand.

The Rear shocks are no excuse. Two bolts and you're done.

The front shocks can be trick as you need a spring compressor. Other than that, its a few bolts.

 

Thanks I'm debating doing it myself. I'm scared I'm gonna mess things up.

 

start learning my friend..you wont regret it...chics dig a man thats good with his hands....at least thats what my old lady tells me...lol

 

Go for it man. At least the rear shocks (literally took me 30min to install). Like I said, two bolts.

Check out your local regional thread also to see if there are some local members that are up for a "mod day." Good luck and dont forget pics!
