Anyone willing to help install Billstein's?

[RSalha17]

Hello!

I recently had 1.75" front and .75" rear spacers installed in my 4runner and am not entirely in love with them. I want to upgrade to Bilstein 5100's but don't want to spend another $800 at the shop to get it done. Wondering if anyone around the greater Seattle Area would be willing to help with the project as I'd also like to be involved with the process and learn the ins and outs. If it would make any difference, I'd be willing to pay a couple hundred bucks for your time.

PM me if you're willing to help.

I’m on the ‘right’ side of the Country, so unable to assist; however, do you have any pics of your current spacer set-up?

I ended up looking at videos, service manual, etc. and figuring it out myself. Thanks for the reply though! If anyone in the Seattle area needs help I am happy to help out. I now have all the tools necessary for the job.

Can you share some pics of your set-up?

I might take you up on this once I get mine ordered. I was thinking 5100s and a 1" spacer in the rear. I have to figure out how to buy them without my wife killing me before they show up though.

It's been a long time since I've installed suspension, how difficult was it?

Sorry for the late reply, let’s see if this works from my phone.

Looking good! I originally came to this NW section to look for an indy shop as well but I will be installing my 5100s this weekend :dancin:

How'd the install go? I bought my 5100's off the OP lol. The install wasn't too bad on my end but I had issues getting the trac bar back in place on the rear. Love the look of the setup now that it's all settled in.
