    Looking for a place that can help with just a basic coilover lift. Or that can help with installing & alignment as most shops don't stock anything anymore. Located out in the beach cities of South Bay, but will travel for competent techs. I would prefer good pricing, but prefer paying a little more for getting it done right. Wish I had the time & tools to do it myself, however my schedule does not allow for that at this moment.

    Thanks in advance.

    I never been here, but heard of good reviews of this place and lots of people go here.

    Also there are these guys that are pushing out rigs with suspensions being installed 24/7. They didn't do my suspension install, most of the installs on my truck I did by myself with my brother in my own backyard. However, I did go to 88 Rotors Offroad to have them mount and balance my 35s and VTX wheel as well as doing the BMC (body mount chop) only because I do not have access to a welding, tire mounting, and balancing machine otherwise I would have done that myself also. If you decide to go to 88Rotors Offroad, call them up ask for Ken and tell him I sent you (Dara). Really great staffs there! They usually have most suspensions, lift kits in stock there.

    No Problem. If Ken ends up asking which Dara when you call, just tell him the one with the cement tundra 5.7_trdprom

    Spoke to Chris as Ken was busy at 88 Rotors.

    He quoted my $1200.00 installed for Bilstein 5100 & $2000 installed for Fox 2.0

    Don't know if I will need the adjustment for the Fox as I just want the truck level without using spacer crap. Truck will be used for light off road / dirt bikes / hunting.

    My truck already has Method Mesh 18" wrapped in Ridge Grapplers 33x12.5

    A little of this and a little of that. Its pretty run of the mill.
    Jared at the Toy Shop in Cypress knows what he’s doing. And he’s a solid dude. You have to order your own parts cuz they are mainly a maintenance oriented shop but I find I get better deals online for parts anyways.

    another +1 for Jared @ the Toy Shop. Honest and meticulous mechanic. cool dude too. hit him up on yelp DM.

    other places: JBM in Orange, IPM fab in Gardena
    for alignments few places in OC that are pretty good. I tend to avoid 4WP in Redondo, they charge you an arm and a leg for labor and parts.
