Not sure about installers, but if you are feeling brave and want to save some money (plus have the tools) You, (and a buddy) can try to put it on. It is a little tricky, but really not hard to do. Anyway, I know you will like it! I have had no issues with mine. It has been on for almost 5k miles. Good luck and lets see some pics when it is finished.
Cheers!

i am in southeast virginia and was contemplating putting in a 1" lift up front. i called around to a couple of shops and got the feeling that they were somewhat unsure of themselves, offering to "give it a go" is hardly reassuring. i figure that i might try put it in myself - unless you find someone in norfolk that is capable.

WOW $475, man I am so glad I did it my self. I took it to the dealer for the alignment which was 60 bucks I think.
If I may make a recommendation, Advanced Auto will rent all the tools needed for the job... Jack, Jack Stands, spring/coil compressor... It cost nothing, just rent the tools and get the money back once you return the tools. no joke
There are also step by step instructions with pictures on some other forums and this one too (I think) of putting the lift on... and there are plenty of people on here to help, myself included. If you do decide to do it yourself and are unsure about what to do on certain steps just take your time and be patient.
I really wish that I lived with in a 4 hour drive of you guys I would drive over with the tools and help. Well good luck and keep us posted.

I haven't gotten any quotes yet as I am still waiting for the product. I went onto the Revtek site and they have recommended installers for their spacer product. I notice a Toyota dealer about 1.5 hours away is an official Revtek installer, I will probably give them a call once I have the lift in hand. I just gave my dealer $300 yesterday to change the fluid in both diffs, transfer case, power steering, engine oil, brakes and a state inspection. It will have to wait until next month's allowance. I have an 8 month pregnant wife so most of my money is going to Babies R US right now.
It would be great if you lived close by, I would greatly appreciate your assistance and help. I believe Jason said 10-15 days for delivery.

Re: $475 For Install and Alignment?
Sounds high... my local offroad shop wanted $250 for the install... I installed it myself and got a free alignment out of the dealership.
