    I’ve never installed anything suspension wise on a truck but I bought the complete suspension kit off Headstrong OFFROAD where is a good shop in Nashville that can do a good install? Or anyone that can help I’m not super confident I can install unfortunately

    The install isn't bad at all. It can easily be done in an afternoon. Where in Nashville are you?

    I bought the same kit and had it installed by Toyota for free when they replaced the frame.

    Did you order the coils and shocks pre-assembled? That's the most complicated part of the install. The rest is just a lot of penetrating oil and elbow grease.

    Im in Clarksville as well. If you have access to Ft Campbell, the shop on post has everything you would need and provides lift access. Id be happy to lend a hand. I've installed two suspension kits on 3rd gen Tacomas.

    If you're not the hands on type, there is a 4x4 shop in Clarksville on Riverside. I used them to adjust the springs on my 6112s. The owner is a great guy.

    Wonder if my Toyota dealership would be generous enough to install for free, they coils and shock are pre-assembled

    I was thinking about that shop on Campbell as well but I was curious if it was still open for use with everything going on right now, but if it is and you're free I'm down to learn lol I've never installed anything like this

    I can give you a hand there or we can do it any my house. You'll just need to bring a floor jack and jack-stands.

    Probably not - the only reason mine were installed for free is because they had to take the whole truck apart and put it back together anyway.
