CALLING NY / NJ . . . . . . Where did You Get Your Bilstein 5100's Installed?

I'm looking to find a new shop to get this done. Preferably a shop who has done it before and is familiar with the install.

I'm on the border of North Jersey / Southern New York state, but I am willing to travel a bit to get this done right.

Thanks,
Chris

By any chance have you tried your local Ford dealer yet ? My local Ford dealer that is in a town of less than 40,000 people did mine and they had never installed the 5100's before. I spoke with the tech and he said based on the instructions that came with the shocks it looked pretty straight foward. I do not mean to sound rude/pushy just trying to help you out some

didnt you just have the issues with a shop that couldnt figure it out? honestly, it is VERY easy to do this job..... ANY shop should be able to handle it.... or, if you have a basic set of tools, a spring compressor and a couple hours time, you could do it yourself. but it is scarry.

My Ford dealer did mine, the first time the tech didn't understand if I wanted the lift or not so he installed them at 0"...... stupid yes, but corrected for free. $184 installed them, $44 alligned it.

Anyone else have any ideas? I'm thinking about swinging by my local Ford dealer tomorrow with the instructions to see what they say.
