I am getting them tomrorow, but that doesn't mean I will be installing them tomorrow. I don't know how to install them, so I might be looking to having someone install them for me, or maybe some nice YotaTech members are willing to help me?

dued, I'd fully help...except...the mileage btwn us is staggering!
I'm sure it's not a hard job...it's just a matter of being informed and having the right tools at hand.
Do you need a spring compressor to do the shock install?

Carsten-
they are good stuff! I'm really enjoying the ride. The PP lift springs I got put me a bit higher than expected (1 3/4" higher than stock) but I'm diggin' that too!

good question on firmness....my shocks were PLAYED out...they had 117k on them.....so....the only other "stock" 4runner I've driven for any length of time is my mom's '99 (with like 48k on it) .... and that thing is like S M O O T H.....so in comparison to that I would say it's a good bit more firm - and with my new springs (and sway bars waiting for quick disconects!) I've not done any really hard turning - so....I'm gonna say it's gonna corner nice and stay standing vs the lean it used to do...and the "after bounce"!
SO...what you may have read about on this and other forums about the Bil's holds true....they are more firm.
As far as installation... .....only thing it set me back was a Saturday morning and afternoon of mine and Bobzemuda's! Not too bad....I LEARNED quite a bit about the 4runner's suspension components....what to do....and what not too do....and some little tricks at aren't really obvious!
