Anyone know a decent shop to install lift in DFW?

I bought the Toytec spacer/spring combo kit BEST SELLER! 3" FJ Lift Kit w/spacers and rear ToyTec coils and need a reasonable shop to install and align in the Dallas area. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm guessing by the lack of response means everyone is too tired of pointing people the the how to use search sticky.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Toyota of Dallas or BaerTrax come to mind and know Toyotas and KDSS.

I would highly suggest thinking about aftermarket UCA's with a 3 inch lift to get the alignment within proper specs.

Do you have any idea what a rough estimate would be for them to install and align? I am trying to determine if it is cheaper to just buy the tools needed (floor jack, jack stands etc.) and do it myself or just pay a shop to do it.

Thanks

I have no idea,but a couple on here had lifts put on at Toyota of Dallas and might chime in......Like [MENTION=65398]Reata[/MENTION] I think .

The front KDSS bar can be a mother to get reattached and the KDSS system can some times need Zero Point Calibration after a lift and wouldn't recommend it for a first timer.Nobody has ever done a DIY lift install write up on a KDSS TE.Once was enough for me on Steph's TE!

It's super easy without the KDSS and I need to pull my Icons to have them sent in for rebuild next month when it cools down. Had them off/on several times and without running a front sway bar at all takes 1 1/2- 2 hours tops taking my time.

Thanks for the info. My TE doesn't have KDSS. I have looked at the spacer install thread and it doesn't seem too bad. It just makes me nervous to be pulling apart an almost $40,000 toy. I had no problem pulling apart my old 1970 FJ40. But this is a much more complex machine than that. I think I am going to go ahead and try to install myself this weekend. Thanks again for the info.

No KDSS .....no problem. Here's Antman's and Sp8ball's write-up on the front to help out on that........http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...%92s-ideas-since-mid-2010-a-3.html#post754964

The 3 inch Toytec spacer lift has spacers on top of the coil and on top of the plate I believe.

Where did your TE come from? I thought all Gulf States TE's came loaded with KDSS and nav. At least they did in 2009-2010 when I ordered one then cancelled.

I couldn't find a TE in Gulf States in summer of 2011 at all. So I found one in Rhode Island and had it shipped down here.
