    Hello folks,

    I have 2nd gen Taco and was looking to see if anyone would be able to meet anytime this week or the following and help me put on the following:

    Bilstein shocks (set at 2.5")
    Toytec 3 AAL pack

    If you are in the area and are able to help me with a build day that would be awesome

    WILL PROVIDE BEER AND PIZZA OF YOUR CHOICE!
    Thanks a lot,

    Ken

    yeah probably will be my backup plan, I've studied up a little just never lifted a truck before other than spacer lift in highschool on a jeep, so am a bit nervous about the whole thing being done correctly and safely

    would this be to have him do it or the shop? I would prefer getting help, id like to take part of it all for financial reasons and also to learn a bit about it since i will likely make future modifications later on.

    I will contact him forsure sounds like a good place to take it. My worries are just that it may be out of my price range considering I just bought suspension parts. will definitely check with him though,
