Shop rec for lift install near Albany/Corvallis, OR?

[El Deano]

Looking for a shop experienced working around KDSS. I want to install 5100s and Wheelers' T13 rear springs and am having a hard time finding anyone that has dealt with KDSS before - or even knows what it is.

I can't speak directly to KDSS experience, but I drove all the way down to Albany from Hillsboro to get my lift installed at FL Snyder and Sons based on the recommendation of another forum member. If you can't find anyone with KDSS knowledge, I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. Great customer service and really reasonable pricing. Good luck!

L&C Trucks in Oregon City installed my lift about a month ago and I'm very happy with it! They asked me if mine had KDSS (it doesn't), but they knew about it. I know it's not super close to Albany, but if you can't find anyone else...

I am in Hillsboro as well. Also looking for a place for 5100 install. Did you order through the shop or did you order online and take parts to them? Did they do the alignment as well?

If you want to drive up to the Portland/Vancouver area I would be more than willing to help you install it. I've lifted 3 KDSS equipped 5th Gens in my garage, including mine. It's free, plus you get to learn about your rig.

I ordered online and brought the parts to them, he handled the alignment as well and everything came out great. There's Accessory Outfitters in Aloha but they quoted me twice as much as the Albany place. It was worth the drive, I just threw my bike on the roof and rode down to the Willamette for some fishing while they did the install.

Did you get 5100"s instaled? What was the cost of the install?

It was the TOYTEC lift for Trd Pros, I want to say it was only around $250. They also hadn't my new tires mounted by a tire shop down the street while they installed the lift, everything was done in 2-3 hours.

I did my own and then had my alignment checked at Snyder and Sons.

If you guys do this you should let me know. I'll be doing our Trail edition with KDSS soon.

Made an appointment at L & C Truck this morning. $360 for bilstein 5100 (4) and rear spacer install with alignment. Thanks for the recommendation.

Just purchased a 4Runner and new to southern Oregon area. Will be looking to install lift sometime soon. Good info on places to go. Now I just have to decide on what direction to go on the lift. I had an FJ with 5100 adjustable coilovers and Toytec springs and enjoyed the overall ride quality. My new 4Runner has KDSS. I am trying to decide weather I want to install spacer to level out the from (Not a fan of the stock rake) or just upgrade suspension right of the bat?
