    Hey everyone,

    I am new here, and apologize if this is a re-thread...

    Just bought a 2006 Manual 4door w/ 110k miles. It is base model, and I will add pics soon, however it is 100% stock.

    I am looking into doing a suspension lift (not 100% positive but looking Bilstein 5100's, w/o drive line extension).

    Two points I wanted to raise:
    - Is there anyone in the TW community in Chaffee County that would be interested in helping with the suspension lift? I have tools, jack, stands, just need some help as this will be my first suspension lift performed, and wifey is not up to challenge...(happy to travel to you, I just want a second pair of eyes to make sure I am doing things correctly, eventually will carry my kids...)
    -Since I have never done this before, I am looking to make sure the kit I purchase has all the necessary items. i.e. I won't need a mad dash to NAPA as we live remote in regards to quick access to a Toyota resource...

    Thanks for looking,
    Chris

    Salida is beautiful! Welcome to TW. If you post in the regional threads, you'll have a better chance of getting a response. I've done 3 sets of 5100s. It's not too hard to do by yourself if you're mechanically inclined and have the right tools. There are several good write ups and videos here and on youtube. Have fun modding your Taco!!
