Bilstein's

Anyone know what I could expect to pay for 4 bilsteins installed on a 2001 Prerunner?


Each front Bilstein is about $79.99 (B46-2284), each rear is $69.99 (B46-2285/2286) at Autozone. As far installation if you bring the parts it's usually $50 per corner. If you buy the parts from the installer the rear shocks may be installed free during promotion. Other rubber parts extra.

Based on the above, $300 parts + $200 labor + tax.

I do not know what you will pay, but you will like them.

$50 per corner? Ouch.

I had Rancho 9000s Shocks are a knuckle-buster job, that's for sure. After the bandages, it's not that tough.

The rears are a snap, but the fronts require removal of a loaded coil spring.

That's what I was thinking...

The rears are shocks these are cheap to install, often FREE if you buy the shocks say at Pep Boys or Firestone, etc. But they charge an arm and a leg for the parts so you end up with a bigger bill.

The struts/coil-over types are more expensive to install. The street price for installation is about $50, if you install at the place that sells them, sometimes $30 with purchase. And you may still end up with a bigger bill.

Bilsteins are great (Touring, HD, Sport different levels of firmness). That's why the tuner circle nicknamed the cheap OEM KYBs "Keep Your Bilsteins"!!!

Thanks all....got all 4 for 289.00, free shipping @ shox.com. local shop to install for 30.00 ea...oh well don't have the time or inclination to diy.......

I know that. It is still not a difficult job. I did shocks on my daughter's

02 Tacoma PreRunner. It was easy.
