My Bilsteins 5100 finally showed up, what should I expect to pay to have them installed? I know the rears take about 5 minutes each but know the fronts are a little trickier. 2 hours of labor? I have Moog rear coils as well since I have a ZW7.

Going to need an alignment as well since I am going to do the fronts at the highest setting.

Expect $60-75 an hour labor so 2-3 hours of work. If going with highest setting up front hope you have some 1" spacers for the rear to keep it level.

Yup, I have some rear spacers - don't want to end up with the front slightly higher like sometimes happens.

Ended up being $250

Rides great now. No more squishy feeling in the rear, not quite as bouncy, rides very flat. I'll get some pictures when it's not raining out.

Which ones did you go with? I am looking into the same ones. Are the fronts the whole assembly?

The fronts will re-use your existing coils. It's just a shock.

Rear: 24-187237
Front: 24-186940

I also added:
Daystar KG09103BK Comfort Ride 0.75" Rear Coil Spring Spacer Kit
Moog 81069 Suspension Coil Spring Pair (you need this if you have a ZW7)

Ok awesome. Thanks!

I have the RC 3.5" kit on now.

It's an LS not zw7 so I should be ok.

Hopefully gonna pull the trigger on these soon as I have heard nothing but good things.
