    Can you wrench at all though? $1500 total for that job is highway robbery!

    Bought 4600s for a friend from Amazon for ~400.

    They came to me, I then shipped them to him in Honduras as part of a bigger box.

    He installed the rears in short order, (easy peasy) and had a mechanic install the fronts, where other work needed to be done anyway.

    Someone is trying to poke you; good for you for asking.

    I do not have the skills and live in a condo. I need to get it done. My ride is pretty bad. I get tossed around on I70.

    No worries. Yeah the 4600s were essentially the go-to replacement when dumping the tokico blues and wanting to remain at/near stock ride height. Just be aware your results may vary depending on how worn those stock coils are. I could be wrong but with the 5100s you would have the ability to adjust them to compensate a little for any worn coils(?). Again, that is just a guess. I have no experience with the 5100 billys.

    Oh one more thing... if I'm not mistaken the 4600s do not include the bushings either. Might be worthwhile to check and if not, get them. You don't want to have them re-use your old bushings (lower mount and top hat)
