    Upgrading my suspension, and am looking at Bilstein 5100’s all around and an airbag for heavy loads/towing. 4 Wheel Parts quoted me $1365, parts and install. All parts through them come with a 3 year warranty. I went with an airbag as opposed to an AAL system because like the options the bag gives me. How does this sound to everyone? Should I go with it or pass?

    $600 in parts and $800 labor? Nah.

    Easy to install all of those parts in a weekend day, if you want to.

    Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and get a parts quote from her.

    Then install the stuff yourself. Don't know how, have all the tools or space? Get a local work crew together to help you for the price of some pizzas and cold drinks.

    Thanks. I’m also questioning whether I need shocks on the back.

    If the current ones have over 50k, just do it.

    That’s some expensive labor. A couple of years ago I was quoted $900 for the same set up installed in central FL. Said the heck with it and installed everything myself. If you have a place to work on it then do it yourself as everyone has said.
