I can install suspension systems did mine and a few others, you'd just have to take it to an alignment shop what you wanting to put in.. Other than that there is tarheel 4wd (mostly jeeps) and carolina truggies (amazing custom work). They can all source suspension kits for you but you'd come out cheaper buying the kit yourself then having someone install

Hey, I live in Denver, NC. Are you still living in this area? I have a 3+2 leveling kit I'd like installed. Let me know if you're interested.

I am in Charlotte, NC and need some help with upgrading my suspension.... Just ordered Moog front springs and Bilstein F & R 5100s. I have never worked on suspension on any vehicle before and would be interested in getting some help/guidance. I can pay you with some cold beer while we work and possibly pay for your brews after we finish at any of the awesome breweries near my place. Shoot me a message if you are interested!

Hey
@ aha2988
are you still around Charlotte and does this offer still stand? Been a 4Runner fan for years but just purchased my first one last week. She's a 2014 Trail Edition (non-KDSS) somebody traded in at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet. Originally purchased in 2014 from Scott Clark Toyota and full service records from Scott Clark as well. I have 275 AT3's being installed on Thursday but my goal for the spring is to get 5100's on all 4 corners and 1" Cornfed spacers in the rear. Please let me know if you're willing to lend a hand in the process, I'll probably be looking to do the project sometime in March/April.

I have a 05 sport 4x4 that needs the XREAS replaced sometime in the next 6 months to a year. I live in Charleston, but wouldn't mind coming up there for help. are you limited to a type of upgrade? because I was thinking of swapping out my XREAS with a later year TRD pro suspension. Thanks for your time

Not really limited to anything in particular. I charge 25 an hour for any type of wrench work, 35 an hour for welding (weld on rock sliders, exhaust etc.). Big projects typically require working out a set price. If you just need a roof to work under with your own tools, I don't charge anything for this. I'll just come have a beer while you work.
I've lifted over 10 4runners, 2 jeeps, and 1 FJ cruiser, welded on 3 sets of rock sliders. installed 4 body lifts, 3 locker installs, one FJ t-case conversion, 2 muffler installs. 3 body mount chops. Always happy to spread the knowledge and help people get where they want to go.

Awesome. I can't drop the money at the moment on the suspension and spacers because I just shelled out for the vehicle and tires but in the next month or so I should be in a position to make the upgrade. I'll certainly be in touch when the time comes.
