    Looking for someone/shop to install front coilovers and shocks and Dakar for the rear. Preferably in Huntington Beach or Anaheim areas.

    Thought about doing it myself, but having a bad back without access to a lift will take me forever.

    i hate to say it, but all of the shops i have contacted locally just sucked.. No one seemed to want my business. And i was dropping a lot of $$$ (coils, leaf pack, new wheels, tires - whole package).

    i ended up getting a majority of the work done at Tustin Toyota. Probably not exactly what you are looking for (with just the install) but they took great care of me. No run arounds.

    Thanks for the info. I didnt know Toyota dealerships would install aftermarket parts as well. I don't mind paying if they do a good job and stand behind their work. I'll call around and see.

    If not, I'll just bite the bullet and spend a few days to do it myself.

    I know this is an old post but J.C's Alignment in Huntington Beach can install suspensions. J.C is very knowledgeable, great customer service and pretty cheap compared to other shops around. He also threw in a free alignment & free road balancing on my wheels. When I went back weeks later to have him relocate my sway bar, he did it for me free of charge

    Maybe consider Rebel Off-Road in Laguna Hills. Matt "TheTraveler" works there.

    Or I'm sure people on here will take on the chore for you at a mod day. Price: pizza/beer

    OP I that realize this thread is 10 months old but I was wondering where you wound up having your lift installed? I am trying to find someone in the FV/HB/Westminster area who can be trusted with an install. I have ext Icons, UCA's and dakars that I need help with thanks.

    Thanks I hit them up yesterday and Johnny said they are no longer doing lift installs. He said it was due to being too bogged down doing alignments.
