    Hi all,

    Somewhat new to the thread, as well as new to Tacoma ownership.

    I really wanted to put some Bilstein 5100s on as well as a rear AAL. I live in an apartment in downtown Denver and lack the tools along with the know-how to do the install.

    The price on the parts isn't bad but the few places I've called charge nearly double what the cost of parts is for labor.

    Can someone point me in the right direction as to where to go and who to talk to? Appreciate the help.

    *I also have black running boards off my TSS edition (aka Texas edition) I would be willing to give to anyone who could just help me with the install themselves.

    Chris @ Edge automotive has always done well by me at very fair prices. He's an awesome dude too. Give him a call: http://www.theedgeautomotive.com/

    They do mostly Jeeps, but I've seen quite a few Toyotas in their shop and Chris owns a Defender, so they're certainly open to working on anything! They did a lift on both my old Jeep and my 4Runner. Tell him Dan C sent you.

    I got my 5100s and progressive AAL installed at Smooth Ride. They are literally like 2 doors down from Toytec, so it made it easy for me to buy at Toytec, then have Smooth Ride do the install. I think I remember the owners name is Phil.

    im right off i25 and university more or less, if you have assembled 5100s i could help you knock out the front install in about an hour start to finish for both sides. (provided nothing is rusted too bad), its a simple process, and only need to disconect sway bar end link from knuckle, then unbolt the shock 3 upper nuts, 1 lower bolt, then 2 lower ball joint bolts, drop the LCA remove and replace and then reverse steps.

    AAL isnt too hard but since im not really supposed to do the install in the parking lot next to my apartment, i dont think id want to tackle the rear end for that reason, as it would take a little bit longer ha.
