    Hey guys, im relatively new to Tacoma world but I really dig this site. its badass.

    anyways. I have bilstein 5100 shocks sitting at home and I need them installed.

    does anyone know of a good fair priced place that does suspension in southern California?

    Im planning on installing the 5100s in the front and a 1.5"or 2" AAL in the rear.

    Any thoughts guys? any help would be great!

    Any reason you can't do it yourself? Really not that difficult.

    I probably could do it myself but It might take me a long time. I would like to learn how to do it though, I haven't worked on anything to do with my suspension yet. I just don't want to screw up my truck. Ive read up on it and it seems pretty straight forward.

    I'm just worried i'll make a stupid mistake somewhere along the install.

    For the front super easy not anything on your truck you can really hurt. Just be carful or you could hurt yourself.

    No link for aal that I know of but just clamp the leafs unbolt add in the leafs longer bolt if needed ect re clamp and bolt them ( while off the truck ) look it up I am sure there is a real guide somewhere... Really though do it yourself and save a lot of money

    I'm looking to see how yours goes. How much lift are you doing at the front? I'm in the Inland Empire too and looking to get the 5100 up front to level.
