Very cool!
It's not that hard. Just follow the directions.
If I weren't kitty cornered from you across the country, I'd help

What is the amont of lift with that Bilstein setup?
sweet, sounds good. i'm really available anytime, but i'd like to get it on sooner rather than later. maybe this weekend or next (or anytime during the week depending on your schedule)
i'll let you know when it's installed, but i'm expecting ~3 up front and ~4 in the rear.
i pieced it together myself, but it it closely resembles the ss 1.2 if i'm correct. front tundra/5100's (from ss) rear 5125's (toytec) and 8-wrap LC coils (from a member). the fronts are all assembled, so yes, there is a top plate.
I would be stoked to get it done this weekend if you guys are available. maybe 99yota can make it up as well...
are both of you guys available this weekend? if so, we could probably do it a my place although i don't have a driveway (we can use the alley). all i have for tools are the standard (sockets etc) and jack stands... do i need anything else?

I can't help Sa****ay, but I am available Sunday. I'm going to call my friend who has a big shop space in Redmond and every tool imaginable to see if he's around this weekend.
As far as tools, you might need a ball joint separator or some sort of pry bar to separate the upper arm. We were able to squeeze the front struts in without having to deal with that headache. Just took a little muscle. Other than that you should be fine with the basics.
How big are your jack stands? You do need to get the rear up high to allow enough room for the rear axle to drop to be able to get the springs out.
Update: No shop access. My friend is going to be out of town this weekend.

Holy mother of rake! i wasn't expecting that much rake with 8-wrap lc coils in the back!
rear after:
front after:
so in the end, i got 3in up front and 6in in the back!
i don't know if the rears will settle that much since i got the springs used already. we'll see... if not, i may be looking for some 7-wraps.
