    Thinking of installing these front and back for a minimal lift/level on my trd sport long box 4x4. I only had a few questions on these….

    1) How much are people buying these for?... either before or after installation. Anyone see any good deals on these? I unfortunately won't be considering installing these on my own, will be more hassle then its worth with my knowledge on this sort of thing.
    2) What change have you noticed on ride quality?

    I'm currently ridding on 265/70/17 KO2's.

    Try Jet.com just copy/paste the part # from another site into their search and it may come up. I know they were doing a 15-20% off coupon for your first purchase.

    I had no previous knowledge about working on vehicles prior to installing my 5100's. Watched a few youtube videos and read a bunch of threads on here then installed them no problems. If you're semi intelligent and only a little mechanically inclined, you can do it and save so much money. The rears are super easy to install and don't even require taking the wheels off if you have enough arm strength. Fronts are a little trickier because the coils. Just fyi...

    Jet.com is the cheapest once you get the part number and use the first time coupon like the poster said above.

    Cheaper isn't always better. Some places do sell cheaper, but are not Authorized and will not be there to help you in a warranty issue. Headstrong is a Vendor on here and supports TacomaWorld members. But hey to each their own.

    I'm currently in a condo (for now after ugly divorce), so I don't even have the tools to attack this. You should of seen me plasti-dipping…lots of dirty looks with the underground parking filling with fumes lol.

    @littlechilds is that 315 front and rear shock absorbers? Do you mind posting the hyperlink at what you're seeing. I'm getting ready to set mine up on 5100's but want to make sure I'm looking at the right thing for my project.

    you have to select the front and rear in the drop down for the 315.99 price. all of the items on our site include free shipping to the lower 48 states. These ship for free to all 50 states though.
