Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Trucks / January 2008Bilstein'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. > 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.

I had Rancho 9000s installed on my '81 Jeep CJ5 for $10 per corner. I get that leaf springs are easier to work around, but you are saying that the difference in one corner covers the entire job on my Jeep. The seller did the install, maybe that's what you said ... Shocks are a knuckle-buster job, that's for sure. After the bandages, it's not that tough. > $50 per corner?

The rears are a snap, but the fronts require removal of a loaded coil spring. 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"!!! > The rears are a snap, but the fronts require removal of a loaded coil > spring. >> $50 per corner?

I did shocks on my daughter's 02 Tacoma PreRunner. It was easy. I do not know what you will pay, but you will like them. > Anyone know what I could expect to pay for 4 bilsteins installed on a 2001 > Prerunner?
