2004 Suspension rebuild

Hey all,

My 16 year old son saved up his money to purchase a 2004 SR5 4WD with 212k miles. Interior is in great condition (except the cracked dash). No rust visible on frame, we live in Oklahoma. The suspension needs work. Our plan is to replace upper and lower control arms, struts/springs, CV axles. Brakes and tires are supposedly in good shape. We are going to try to do all this over a 3 day weekend. I am hoping since we are replacing most of it, it will be easier. I am ordering parts online from Toyota dealer (I heard this would be the best parts). Not looking to raise it, although this may be a good time (plan on Bilstein 5100). It will be a daily driver. Any pointers or advice is appreciated. I am handy, but no expert like most of you. Thanks!

 

love it
