    After five or so years, I've finally decided it's time to lift my truck. These three shops are all within the same distance from me give or take a few miles. Do any of my Colorado brethren have a preferred shop? They all seem highly recommended but I'm curious if anybody has any first hand experience to sway me one way or another? Thanks

    I would Highly recommend Mountain Yotas in Wheat Ridge, I have used 2 of the shops on your list and will be using Mountain Yotas from now on.

    ^^^ This.
    No better way to understand your truck / lift than to do all the work on it you can. Knowing what you want in a lift, and what your use will be is what you need to decide first (King, Bilstein, ... how much lift, UCA's, new rear leafs, carrier drop.... - lots to consider then figure out self-install or shop). If you can't do that then it all comes down to how much you want to pay because shops will be happy to up-sell you to your wallet max. Mountain Yota or ToyTec would be my options if you can't do the work yourself. No way on the others. But that is just my 2 cents worth.

    Jacob @ ToyCrawlers does excellent work. Just be ready for a wait, they’re usually booked out for quite a bit.

    Red at https://mountainyotas.com/ has been excellent with a lot of my friends down in Salida with their Toyotas over the last few years. I highly recommend him.

    I started following them on IG a couple of weeks ago and spoke with Red today about some maintenance/service on my '04. Seems like a really good guy.

    My buddy's shop in Boulder has priced me out and they don't really cater to the OEM only customer. So we'll see how Mountain Yotas does.

    I do work on the 2nd/3rd Gen Tacoma's and 4th/5th gen 4runners in the Denver area as a mobile mechanic as well. Hit me up if anyone would like a quote. I have done King/Fox installs (and less), needle bearings, brakes.....and more. I am a lot cheaper than the shops and I can come to your place or work to install. Hit me up for a quote.
