    I've got extra greaseable main eye bolts/bushings if you need to replace them.

    Suspension is pretty easy. We could all gang up on it if needed. Or one guy wrenches while everyone else drinks beer.

    Ahhh, seriously?

    If you guys want to save me $900, I would be extremely grateful. And honestly, I'd love to know how to do it myself - or at least help out.

    It's completely up to Chris though - as to the if and when. I would supply all the beer, and probably be insistent with give you a few hundred bucks as well.

    I'll PM Chris.

    It would be tight, but I could make it work. Considering what you're offering I'll make any time work. Just name a time/day.

    Here's most the stuff. The coils and Wheelers AAL are out in the garage. Just wondering if you guys can think of any other hardware I might need. Looks like all the Bilstein hardware is there. Although, the 6112's are on the first clip, and I want them on the third clip. The instructions say "use the correct tool to adjust the ring".... but I don't see a tool included in the box.

    Also, do we have access to a coil compressor? Or a way to mount them?



    I also bought extended studs for the top plate. I have a 1/4" spacer on the driver side right now, and the stock studs are barely long enough.

    I haven't even opened the AAL box yet, but Wheelers says new Ubolts and center pins are included.

    If you want some more help I'd be willing to come and help too, just don't know how much room you've got or if more people can be any help.

    Hey Guys!

    I'm Chris..

    I've been a member of this site for a while, just never really looked into anything..
    I'm out in Eagan..

    I sold my 85.5 4x4 a few years ago, bought a little home depot hauler..
    One of my friends has a V8 swapped S10.. My Tacoma with its 4 banger needed more oomph..
    So I turbocharged it.. Had to show him up. ;)

    Just thought I'd say hi..

    Is that just sitting on coil overs or airbags? Looks like a pretty clean set up.

    Boost, armor, lights, big tires, no savings.
    Dang, I'm late to the party. I would be down for a mod day. I installed 6112 (third clip I think, with a 2" AAL and some Fox rears a few months back, much better than the stock set up with 100K on it.
