kind of a dumb question about shocks

i want to get some bilsteins for my f150. on their website they only mention places that sell the shocks, no places that would actually install them. what have you guys done? buy them from a reputable place (summit, jegs, etc) and then take them someplace to get installed?

oaw

if i was younger i would just do it myself. i leave most of my under car crawlin time for my elcamino now days.

I ordered mine from the online site that had the best price. Got them quickly and just what I ordered. I put the two rears on myself as they are very simple and easy. The fronts on the 4x2 are a little more labor intensive with the coil overs. They require a spring compressor and just more labor rthan I wanted to get into. I was fortunate enough to be close enough to Patrick to be able to drive the 75 miles and pay him to do it. Was well worth it as I got to watch.

Here are some pics from the installation.
