    I got a set of 3” toytec springs on the way and debating on paying a shop to do it all or just pay a shop to assemble the springs onto the shock (5100’s). I honestly don’t trust myself to use spring compressors and things like that, but will I have a hard time lining up the holes or anything after the new coils are installed? Should I just pay a shop to do it all and not worry about it?

    Have a shop put the springs on, and install the coilovers yourself.

    Easy job.

    A 14mm ratcheting wrench makes things much easier.

    Your stock bottle jack will also help.
