Bilstein 5100 install In CT

Looking to get my 5100s installed on my '09 taco. Dealership quoted me $450 for all four plus alignment! Can someone help or recommend a shop that'll do it for a reasonable price?

Thanks man!

 

If you lived in north TX I'd help ya! If you have the tools it's not all that difficult. You may try one of your local small shops, they may do it quite a bit cheaper. Just make sure you set the ring where you want it on the front. They may not have any idea that a 5100 is height adjustable.

 

Do you have a shop or something. I am in dallas and am looking into buying some 5100's. Just looking to get about 2 1/2 -3 inch lift in the front and 1 - 1 1/2 in the back.

 

No, just my garage. I just did these on my 03'. It's best to use a lift spring to achieve that much lift for the sake of your ride. I only have mine set at 1.25" and rides great. But the more you preload the spring the rougher it will ride. You could do 5100's with eibach springs and a add a leaf or lift shackle from Toytec.

 

What size tires are you running? I have 265/65/r17s on my truck. I am wanting to put 285s on it. Maybe 275s

 

+1 ^^ I did this method and it was a breeze. Just make sure you have a quality floor jack. Initially attempted compressing springs with rented compressor and seriously freaked myself out.
