    I am looking for a shop that could swap out the coils from stock to the 5100s i have. Did not get a chance to get it done while in Texas at my parents house, so i will need to do it in Colorado when i get back there.

    I know how to do it and have done it literally hundreds of times at a previous job, just do not have the tools with me in colorado to do it safely.

    Parts would be off the truck and ready to go when i do it, so minimal effort on the shops part.

    Or have any of you used one of those DIY Shops that has the tools and stuff? Id still pull the parts off at my friends place and just need the spring compressor and wam bam thank you ma'am 20 minutes and im done ha

    not sure where you're at, but I have a floor jack. I'm sure lots of other people on here do too.

    but, yeah I wouldn't use a bottle jack either
