Default Bilstein Install

What should I expect to pay to have Bilstein 5100s installed all around with an alignment? Is the alignment necessary on a ‘19 with 6k miles? Thanks for the help!

An alignment will be necessary if you change the struts, and particularly so if you use leveling struts set to a height other than stock.

It's difficult to say how much your local shop will charge for installation. I'm not even sure what currency I would use for the estimate.

I was quoted $400 for installation of just the fronts. That price included an alignment which is definitely necessary unless you install them at stock height. I decided to just install them myself and pay $80 for the alignment.

On my old truck, I paid $700 for all 4 installed and aligned @4wheelparts.

People in this thread putting a shock swap on the same level of transmission rebuild are actually hilarious. Thanks for the comedy in these times.

I'm not sure you're in the right thread, only because you're the only one that has mentioned rebuilding transmissions.

This thread ended back in October, I'm not sure any of us are in the right thread!

Deleted. Another failure of the scrolling post that connects to the previous one on this website.

You're only 6 months late chiming in with your comedy @Pollux. Stick to rebuilding transmissions.

You can actually shut off the auto scroll in your profile options. It almost makes this site useful again.
