    Just install them yourself. Rent a spring compressor and grab a jack. Should take 3 hours tops for all 4 and that's with a smoke break and beer break. Save your $$$$ for other cool truck shit!

    x2 on that.

    Hardest part is swapping the coils... the renting tools can be a bit sketch. Pep boys did it for me right there for $40 in 10min and saved me a headache I'm sure...

    I think a lot of people over think the action. I've done it on my tundra, my taco, and two other tacos. Easy as hell. Hardest part was getting the uca off the spindle, and that only took 30 seconds with a rubber mallet and a few well placed smacks

    No need to disconnect anything but the ball joint knuckle on the lca. Mark your alignment cams, loosen them, pry the lca down far enough and remove the strut.

    A dozen ways to skin a cat. I popped the uca ball joints off, disconnected the sway bar, popped the coil over out, removed the spring on a vice with compressor, reinstalled. 30 min for each side.

    Rears are even easier.
