Eastern WA suspension shops?

[jayhat]

Anyone know of any good aftermarket suspension shops in Eastern WA? One's that either sell reputable brands - bilstein, OME, Toyotec, Icon, etc or allow you to buy your own stuff and have them install? I am in the Tri Cities area and the only ones I can find around here are Les Schwab which, although the work they do is generally regarded pretty well, they only sell their own no-name suspension components. Also supposedly the only lift for a 5th gen Runner is a non-adjustable 6". Which is crazy. I've also found a couple smaller shops but they only sold one brand (which I cannot recall) and it was not one of the above.

4 Wheel Parts?

There is a shop in Spokane. I will look into them when I am ready for some suspension upgrades.

I know this is old. Finally got around to ordering a Dobinsons setup a couple months back and finally found a shop I felt good about that would install customer purchased parts.

It's in Spokane WA and called Advanced Auto Fabrication, LLC. It was recommended on a local Facebook 4Runner group.

He seemed like the suspension install on the 4Runner would be no sweat. He was very straight forward and said they charge $95 / hour and that it would probably take around 4 hours. Also $125 for alignment, which they do as well. About what I expected to pay. Booked them for early august, so I will be sure to let you know how it goes.

Posting for other Eastern Washingtonians that may search in the future (as I tried to do).

I am on the westside but I’m willing to work out something with you if you are interested, I’m a very experienced mechanic and have been turning my own wrenches on the 5th gen for a while now. I can assist with the setup purchase also if you need help

Appreciate it. I know I can probably do it, I just never have before and it stresses me out a little. Plus I don't really want to waste a whole day doing it. Maybe the next iteration of suspension when the truck is a little older. At this point, I'd rather pay to have it done. Do you do work on the side from time to time?

Oh yea I’ve helped lots of coworkers save money vs a high shop bill, I started out as a wheeled vehicle mechanic in the Army but my main carreer in life has been building airplanes for Boeing.

So far I’m at about 3 hours on my TRD Pro suspension install including removing the xreas entirely, I am waiting on front springs to arrive Thursday to reassemble the fronts. I’d bet I could nail this out in one shot in about 3 hours without having to remove xreas parts
