Bilstein 5100 front and rear installed for 700.00

That one there was a block lift too but shitty wheels and tires added... oh and LED interior lighting.. dont forget that. I almost peed my pants when I saw the sticker.

 

The dealer in my town that I went to first had denied installing my lift because of “warranty issues” so I went to a shop and then contacted a different Toyota dealer

 

I hate dealerships. Everything to do with them feels like a scam. They mark up everything way beyond any reasonable considerations and really have no more experience and know how in their mechanic shops than any other place. They guarantee their business by making you sign specific warranty documents that requires you to use them and when you want to add high end components to maximize the use of your vehicle they are so quick to deny your warranty. You just cant win or even get what you pay for dealing with those con artists. Somehow it should be illegal.

 

But they did the work on it themselves. I have a feeling that the dealership near me will not cover certain things now because i installed my bilsteins by myself. Then again, this is my first toyota so i dont know how they will deal with certain things. I had a pretty modified mustang GT before my taco, suspension work,engine work and a race tune and never had warranty issues when i went to the dealership

 

Look up Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
The dealer would have to prove a DIRECR cause for failure due to your modification. They may hassle but in the end unless they’re going to fork out time and money to prove you wrong they HAVE TO replace components under warranty.

 

As Rustytaco said doing it yourself should not void warranty as long as followed manufacturer instal instructions and torqued everything per spec. The is nothing stating they are more qualified than you.

 

Thank you so much @eldedo @OnHartung'sRoad @bobrown14 for your recommendations!

@Black taco. we are located in Hemet and offer special discounts for customers who would like to pick up their suspension as well as we work with some members who offer installation services. IF you want to PM me we can go over your options

 

I’m interested too do you work with any installers up here on the Central Coast ?

 

Where did you get your lift done in Portland?

 

Unfortunately not yet

 

Buy the parts and install them yourself. Not a difficult job and you'll save a ton of money that you can put towards other mods. The tacoma game gets expensive when you need other people to do your mods. Check out my post on 2nd gen lifts. Your 3rd gen shouldn't be too far off.

What size tires?

 

Im going to PM you in a couple of weeks. Been eye-ing the Fox Level 3s and need some help installing..

 

You’re going to PM me?
Are you trying to tag team that install or what?

 

No. I'm going to PM Marie over at @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

How much did that lift you truck?

 

That makes much more sense.
I’ll be doing the same soon.

 

Works for me
