4X4 Shop - NJ/PA - Lift install

Hey everyone, I just recently received all of my suspension components and am now looking for a place to install my lift on my 2013 SR5. I'm going with Bilstein 5100s at 2.5 up front and 5100s/ 1.5 day star spacer in the rear (thank you all for posting your pictures).

The Toyota stealership in NJ quoted at NINE hours of labor for a whopping $1500 including alignment. I know darn well you guys can help me find a reputable shop around the South Jersey/Philly area right for 1/3 of that quote? Before you ask, I don't currently have access to a wide array of tools/garage space to do this myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

lifts

I see you live in Philly - I have had many Toyotas (5 FJ40's, 2 4Runners and 2 Tacoma) and I have redone the suspension on everyone of them. I am in the East Falls area near Manayunk and I drive a TRD Pro that I am about to install a lift on.

Are you looking for a real 4x4 shop or just a grade that does good work. Lifts are usually not that involved to install if they are made for the vehicle.

Main Line Overland is one choice, and they are not that inexpensive. They do great work.

There is a Sunoco station on Ridge Avenue in Andorra outside of Roxbourgh that works on older cars and does very good work. They installed a lift on my 07 Tacoma and only charged me for 2 hours of work. They had quoted me for three hours. They also installed a 3 inch lift on my 74 FJ40 and it was more involved. They did it in 2.5 hours and quoted me 4 hours.

Shoot me a PM and I can send you more info.

lifts installed in Philadelphia area

the gas station is actually called

Mike's Service Center  
WebsiteDirections
Auto Repair Shop · Northwest Philadelphia
Address: 8901 Ridge Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19128
Phone: (215) 483-4141

The owner Mike is a great guy to deal with and really honest. They charge you exactly for the work they do. I have found them to be a face to face type of shop so I stop by to get an estimate and have the parts I want to install with me.

I am installing a lift on my TRD Pro in the next few weeks and I will be taking it to them to do. It is just too cold to install that stuff on my driveway this time of year.
Toytec 2 inch coil spacer lift with coils in the rear -
installing larger tires later 275/70/17 BF Goodrich All Terrrain (I don't need 285s)
