Bilsteins with coils

[t-man]

I see what you're saying. You're correct, Bilstein doesn't include those when you buy the fronts...although they are manufactured. I had to buy mine separately. I don't know if that's part of the tophat or shock...but it doesn't really matter. Bottom line I put in new bushings because the tophats I used had them removed already.

Do they have an extrusion that goes up in the hole where the shock shaft goes through?

[MENTION=79317]Lewis&Clark[/MENTION] Taco guys just had a Mod day in the Bay. I just did a post(general section) to see if there is enough interest to put one together in the next month or so. Roughly a 1.5 hr drive for you. Great way to get things taken care of, learn something's and meet others.

Edit... There would be no need to pre assemble your setup as can be done on site. Just new parts.

They do have a small diameter protuberance, yes.

Labor prices to install 5100's and new FJ springs here in Austin has been around $250-75. I wish I had Mechanical skills, as I would save a lot of $$

If there is any workshops from Austin to San Antonio I would be down for that. I would really like to try this with my boy, but we would probably kill eachother. If anyone out this way can help out, I would definitely pay for the job.

Head to Loyal Austn DIY shop. $20 an hour for a bay and they'll give you some guidance to wrench yourself.
