Oahu suspension help

Got it done from mobile mechanic thanks for your comments!

 

Where you located

 

I’m on Oahu east side.

 

Try post some pics here of the kit, I have access to a shop on the east side where I do all the work to my truck could probably find some time to help you out as well. Weekends only type deal. How much are shops quoting you?

 

@Eastkat808 Here are pics of the shocks and spacers.. other pics are the aal

 

Aloha,

@Eastkat808

here’s some pics, I need front shocks replaced into the strut assembly, and the spacer bolted to the top while it’s pulled out of the truck.

the other pic is of the add a leaf spring. Which I can do at home or you can choose to do it too.

lift shop asks for 1k in labor
Mobile mechanic asked 450

job takes 2-3 hours for a mechanic
Or 4 hours for self mechanic.
I’m looking to spend 250-300 for labor.

 

The AAL is simple enough.

 

Tbh, changing the front struts will be a pain. Itll involve removing the entire setup, and mounting it into a spring compressor. Now, you could do this at home but I would rather have that done at a shop with a wall mounted spring compressor. These are truck springs, not lighter duty car springs. Last thing you want is the cheap compressors to break on you and risk injury.

There are trick ways to do it without needing a spring compressor, but once again it does come with risks. 450 seems like a fair deal for all the work IMHO.

 

In socal that's an easy 2 hr -ish job. $250-300 incl alignment at a shop not trying to rip u one. Find a family owned tire, brake, alignment shop. All labor, gravy work for them.

$450 might be a fair price in Hawaii

 

Did you have this done already? Interested to know how the bilsteins you have compare in terms of length to the stocks.
