Anyone in NorCal? Help installing lift
I almost have everything together for my lift and in effort to learn how to and to save some money I was hoping someone on here with previous knowledge could help me install my lift and maybe I could help you install something on your car? If anyone is interested in helping out/getting together to work on our cars let me know. Or if anyone knows of a good shop with reasonable install prices, Send me a PM with details. Thanks, Alex

As for the rear, I actually left the opposite tire on. I started with the drivers side. All I had was one bottle jack, one jack stand and the factory car jack. If you research on here and search videos you can do it easily. Took me about 2 hours to do new springs/shocks. My tip is make sure you have deep sockets to get the top nut off the shocks. Hope this encouragement helps!

Where in NorCal are you? I could probably help at some point, but I'm in Santa Cruz.

Thanks SCRunner12 and Stockwell45, it would be great to get together to collaborate our efforts on this! I know it will be a learning experience for me. I live in truckee, any plans to come up this way? Or does anyone have access to a shop more equipped than my garage? Also does anyone have any experience compressin LCs or TRD Tundra springs? I wouldnt mind a drive for good help!! Stockwell45, you come help and ill supply the beers!! Lets chat it up and talk more logistics and get this ball rolling if you are serious. Thanks

Truckee is a bit out of the way for me, almost 4 hours according to mapquest. What are the components of the lift? Installing rear LC coils is a breeze, fronts are gonna need spring compressors which I may be able to borrow from a buddy. If you don't mind the drive, we can do it at my shop.

Yeah Truckee is a bit to far for me as well. I know Casper421 (4th gen guy) lives in Truckee and could probably help or knows a shop. If you're ever down south here I could help though. Good luck!
