Anyone want to help me install lowering springs?

[simple0ne1]

Hey guys, I know some of you helped fellow TN members install their lowering springs. I will be ordering lowering springs and will need help installing them. I have no experience what ever so I would appreciate if someone can help me out. Thanks!

I'd help but it would be a bit of a drive for you. lol

[rydr1]

if you can't find anyone just pay pay a shop to get them done.
don't try to do them alone because without any experience on removing springs you can get hurt.

but i dont know how.
haha

good luck!

You may want to say that you will be willing to pay them a bit of money, I know when I had mine done I paid some guys here on the forum to help me out, and made an afternoon of it.

If you have a spring compressor, you can follow directions, and you're careful you can do it. Theres some TN members who'd do it for beer+bbq.

The dealer that I go to wanted almost $500 for the install, He went by the book time of about 6 hours I believe.

I paid $650 at a Toyota dealer including parts, labor, alignment, and tax.
Parts: ~$250 (dealer goes by catalog not discounts)
Alignment: ~$80
Makes the install:~$320

You're probably going to need 2-3 alignments after the springs settle and you drive on them.

3 alignments for settling of springs alone? Why?

I don't get it either. One alignment should take care of it unless he's out curbing his rims on all the sidewalks in town after the beer n BBQ

This isn't everyone, but I would align after installation, and then possibly a week or so later to make sure its settled down. A third if you're still paranoid later on.
