Attention Minnesota 4Runner owners! I need your shop recommendation.

[Reptile Christ]

I hope this kind of post is acceptable here!

Are there any Minnesotans here that can recommend a shop to install a lift kit?

I've got a 2006 V8 Limited and am looking to install an OME lift, UCA's, and bigger tires. I'm in the southwest corner of the Twin Cities and am trying to find a reputable shop to do the lift (and ideally the tires + alignment if they have the equipment...I can get that done elsewhere too.)

Thanks in advance!

Any reason you don't want to do the lift yourself? Tires and alignment would be more difficult obviously, but the lift and control arms aren't all that difficult. Especially on a 4th gen. I ran into problems with the upper rear shock mount on my 3rd gen, but my 4th is outboard mounted making it so much easier!

I am considering that option! I have very few tools so would need to buy pretty much everything one would need. Also just have a lot of other obligations at the moment that make it difficult to set aside a full day (figure I’d need a full day with getting tools and familiarizing myself with the process).

Another Minnesota Here

South end of the cities here. I installed an OME lift myself. Mine is nothing crazy so I have just used Discount Tire and then Firestone for their lifetime alignment.
I know others have had a good experience with 4Wheel Parts up in Brooklyn Park on those sorts of things.

Have any of you tried Zeus off road in Burnsville? I am currently waiting on a quote and advice from them.

If you can bring it to Hudson, Next Generation Auto will do it. Both owners drive lifted trucks and have worked on my previous ride. You can drop it and they have loaners.
