    Looking to level 2.5 and add 295/55/18. Went to 4wP. here’s a quote. Is this a fair deal?


    Les s wanted 470 for rough country? lifts and this is 200$ more for the bilstein. ( recommmended here) please advice.

    And is the strut replacement neccesary?

    103$ per shock isnt a bad price for the Bilstein 5100s. The 240$ for install isnt terrible either, but $120 for alignment is double what anyone pays around my town. Its usually around 65$. I'd say do the Bilsteins instead of the Rough Country. As far as tires go, check out Simpletire.com for better options & prices. 4wp has never been a top choice for me, but thats personal preferance.

    Bilstein 5100s instead of a rough country spacer kit is better in every way. You can get much better pricing if you shop around though.

    Tundra tailgate letters, tinted windows, window vents, level 8 wheels, Bilstein all around.
    Is that $299 each for TPMS's if so that's way too high.

    Does this include tires? It looks like the item that has a $299 unit price is for Toyos

    yes the "strut" replacement is necessary. that's where your lift comes from in the front. the 5100s for the front have grooves in the shock body that a snap ring fits into where your coil spring rests for different lift heights. oh, and tell the guys at 4wp that Tundras don't have struts. they have coilovers. :thumbsup:

    I find that 4WP's labor prices are high but they do have good pricing on parts and tires. I too got a quote from them and decided to install everything myself to save over $1000.00. I will be doing my lift weekend of next and have all the needed tools to hopefully make it a not too difficult job. I''ll let you all know how that goes.

    I will be doing Fox res coilovers 2.5 0-3" and 2.5 res for the rear. 35's and a TC UCA, diff drop, and shackle lift in the rear. Already got my BMC done at 4WP and they did a very nice job.

    I paid 5995 otd with 4wp for a 6" kit fox rears, 20"dropstarwheels and 35" toyo mt's. You could do mo better there. They will price match. especially if you wait till like the last week of the month and they wanna get their sales quotas in. They did an awesome job btw.

    Yeah dude they may have to get the counter 4wp's guy to put an email in to the regional manager but if you hit them with, cool i'll get it done somewhere else and show them the website, while they are at the end of month they will make it happen. The guy at my 4wp's put an email in to his regional or district manager and had an answer withing minutes of his email approving my pricing. you just gotta scratch the surface of them and they will price match.
