    as the title says, anyone have any recommendations for the listed areas? hoping to get a front coilover installed along with UCAs and a rear leaf lift and shock upgrade?

    gonna talk with WFO concepts in auburn, but open to more suggestions

    I've always taken my Tundra to Peterson Hybrid Auto Service in Grass Valley. All they do is Toyota's. It is not not an off road shop but they can do everything and do quality work. Very trustworthy. Been servicing my trucks for the past 6-7 years.

    WFO Concepts is a good shop, I bought a steering kit there for my Scout 800. I know they do some serious fabrication on their projects.

    A lot of us on here/tacomaworld do our own. Only thing we can't help you with is the alignment. Just ask and we should be able to help you...

    Let me know where you decide to go! Or if you decide to try to DIY I’d be happy to help if you’re in the reno area...Can’t say I’ll be a ton of help, but I’ve done a lift on a taco before, and I’ll be doing a lift on my tundra soon too!

    Maybe if we plan this right...and bring enough beer...we can coax some people on here that are close by to come help...like a mini meet & mod day

    WFO basically told me they weren’t interested. They focus on Chevy. He told me a story about sheepishly agreeing to install some Icons on a Tundra recently and ended up having to do a BMC. They don’t want to open up that can of worms again.

    I feel good about installing a simple lift, but much more interested in eventually going down the TC/Fox mid travel route. Rather leave things like limit straps and BMCs to a capable off road shop. Hope to only do have to this once so holding off for now while I save up.
