Bilstein 5100 install cost??

150 for the front with an alignment. They did move my buddy's spring perch BC they said it was too hard...they are good mechanics for Japanese though so I'm kind of surprised.

 

That is what I initially wanted to do but ended up having to jack the opposite side and get the wheel off of the ground to release tension on the sway bar so I could disconnect the end link.

 

Good Point.
You can always lower one side once you've taken care of the swaybar endlinks.

I'll give it a try, one day when I replace my 884s with something taller

 

I did mine with little to no mechanical experience. But that was with the help if the threads on here (have to search). I did take my coils to be done at a local shop and it was $30. Worth it to me for the time/effort. Biggest thing for me is the more I do the better I know my truck.

 

Don't forget a new UCA.

 

No Sir, stayed on the jack stands, no issue at all.

 

Okay, I am finally finished. With just the 5100's up front set at 1.75 it measured level, actually 3/4 of an inch higher at the rear. Measured at center of wheel (axle) from the ground to the bottom of the fender well. It was 36 1/4 in the front and 37" in the rear. It sill looked like it was squatting in the rear. Not sure if its because of the lines of the truck, maybe the hood scoop throws it off.

I had to add a 1" block in the rear to get the look I was trying to achieve. It ended up with a little rake but I think it turned out well. Tires next, here are the photos without the block then with.
