Fort Collins, Co lift install help
Hey everybody I've been lurking around this forum for awhile and have founds tons of great information, but it is time for me to make my first post. I finally pulled the trigger and bought the toytec ultimate lift kit for my 2010 SR5. I live up in Cheyenne, Wy and there aren't any shops up here that will install the lift for under $1000. I read a few other threads that said I could expect to pay around $300, so I am hoping that someone out there can recommend a shop around the Fort Collins, Co area.
I would like to install it myself, but I've never done it before and just don't know when I'd be able to find the time anytime in the near future. I appreciate any help you guys can offer. Thanks.

I'd be more than happy to help but I'm located on the north side of Colorado Springs and my days off are Tuesday through Thursday. I installed my lift on my '10 TE. You could also try Slee in Golden.

You could also try Fort Collins 4x4, if they are still around. They were a decent shop when I was up there years ago for college. They were located on the north edge of town on College.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up going with addicted offroad and they did a great job on my lift. Scotty and his guys got it done quickly and took the time to explain what they were doing and answer all my questions. Can't recommend these guys enough.

How about some pictures?
Also, what was the cost for the installation? (I'm in Cheyenne too by the way).

I'll post some pictures when I get my tires and wheels on in a few days. They charged 300, which was right on what I found from some other threads and way better than the 1000 all the places up here were asking.

CONGRATS on your new lift.
What made you decide on the Toytec Ultimate vs OME, etc.?
How's the new feel of the vehicle?
I'm currently on the fence Toytec Ultimate vs OME. (decisions, decisions...)

I talked to a few guys that had run toytec and ome lifts and they all recommended going w/the toytec since I wasn't going to be adding an aftermarket rear bumper. I guess the ome was too stiff and a little less comfortable w/out the weight.
So far I'm thrilled w/the toytec lift. The ride is incredibly improved with less nose dive and body roll... and it looks great.

I have used Bullhide in Ft Collins b4 on my Tacoma build, they did fine on the Taco but not so great on my Jeep Wrangler. I really like the OME lift kits and may do something like that on my 4runner sometime, I will check with addicted offroad when that time comes. Just waiting on my schrockworks sliders now.
