I'll offer a hand:hatsoff:
I've tried reaching out to Cruiser Corps but to now avail.
Custom Off Road might a choice but don't know if they are like 4 Wheel Parts and won't install if the kit isn't purchased from them. Bad thing is 4WP doesn't sell ICON. Unfortunately I don't think there are any other shops out there. If you find someone let me know!

Well I called around on Saturday. Ultimate Accessories in Edmond quoted me $550. Midas down the street from me quoted me $420. Not sure if they come with alignment because I forgot to ask. I called Pep Boys and they said they'd call me back and never did.
I called 4WP, but like you said they won't install a lift you don't buy from them, and I have an Icon Stage 1 sitting in my garage.

I installed mine in my garage even though I have a shop at my business. It took me most of a Saturday, then finished it up on Sunday. Took basic metric sockets, torque wrench a bottle jack floor jack and jack stands and everyday tools you keep in your garage. I had ordered the Toytec Ultimate kit and when i was buying tires in Okc at 4wheel parts place off i35 on the way to Norman, ask them how much to install and they said they would only install kits that they supply.

Got a place up here in Wichita that has worked on the 5th gen lifts. I have a time schedule to get 4R fitted with bilsteins and ToyTec springs all around. Cost that incl alignment is $460.00. Truck Stuff is the place I speak of.

Came reccomended from another forum member.
If you drop off and have to wait let me know - Ill pick you up and show you the "big" city of Wichita.

Unfortunately I don't really make it up to Wichita. Any time I head out of town it's mostly south because my gf lives in dallas and my parents/brother live in Austin. I will definitely give you a shout though if it comes down to hit.
I just put in a quote request from Merles Frame & Alignment. One of the other auto shops recommended them and said they lifted their trucks for them.

I would use this place as well if they did the install on saturday and an alignment in the same day.
Here's my KC quotes (I've already bought the lift, sitting in the garage)
- $500 in KC, works on saturdays...can't do alignment same day.
- $300 in Topeka, no saturday work...will do alignment for $80 more.

I always use northwest automotive on 50th and western.
I haven't done a lift, but they've done a lot of other work for me. If you do it holler at me cause I work at CHK and want to come look at it.

If I had my new house built we could just do it in my garage.

I would agree with osucowboy. I did my lift, along with a lot of others in a garage with zero problems. That way you'll know its been done right. I know I'm crossing generations but the Oklahoma part threw me for a loop. I live in Bartlesville usually and theres not too many third gen guys that Ive seen around Oklahoma.

I may be free next Saturday or 2 weekends after that but won't know til Fridays if I'm working overtime Sat's. or not. Pm me for my ph # to work it out.I just helped Jaker install his Icon stage 6 a couple of weeks ago at my house.Who knows after that as I got a layoff letter last week and may be moving to bump other mechanics at AA.
They farmed the 777 work out here at the AFW maint. base I work at to China so laying off about 1000 mechanics. I have 21+ years in ,with the last 15 working in the Rolls Royce engine shop, so I'll have a job but probably have to go back to a line mech. job but don't know where yet. Hoping for DFW airport but put MIA,LAX, DEN and SAN next up on the list on my bump sheet that's due tomorrow. I just hope I'm not forced back to NY or cold ass Chitown!

Hope it works out OK for you Harper. That's affecting Tulsa too. It's a bunch of BS.

Oklahoma City has tons of plane repair companies. And better yet if you move to OKC you can cheer for a real team instead of UT or the Mavs.

I would love to help but i live in Woodward. I used a small bottle jack to remove the back springs in lieu of a spring compressor. Just to force the axle down. Now mine is a SR5.......I didnt have to deal with those high priced suspenstions that some of you guys have. The only other thing is you need to find the bolt torque specs when you go back together. Someone had them posted on here at one time. ToyTec also had a video on their site showing an install. Another thing, i drove mine around for a couple of days berfore I had the camber and alignment done because it will settle a bit....I dont have mine jacked up to the full height.

Nice to see all the people from the Oklahoma area on here. I was beginning to think this was a Virginia dominated board. Where is it you guys go off roading?

I have 9 month old twins and I'm building a new house, my offroad days are limited for now. I have full access to the cimmaron river by kingfisher, but that's really for atv and utv access.
Where are you in Edmond. Two of us are in the Westfield area (178th & Penn), I'm moving in feb to the east side (Waterloo & midwest blvd).
I graduated from north in 02.

Is this still sitting in your garage? Did you end up putting on yourself or did you find someone here?

I ended up installing it myself with the help of the Tinker Auto Hobby Shop. I had to take it apart a couple of times to install leftover parts, but I eventually got it right and now it works like a charm
