    Hi Y’all

    Posting here for a wider reach than the SoCal page.

    Looking for recommendations for a suspension shop in SoCal (San Diego area). I’m upgrading the suspension to handle a FWC and only have a couple weeks to get the truck ready. Thinking of putting in OME Leafs

    Anything Is appreciated

    Check out the SoCal forum. I think there is a Taco shop in the SD area with a thread going.

    Absolutely don’t do this…88 is a chop shop that just speeds through installs to make money. Having a Youtube channel that shows nothing but installing Add a leafs and KO2s does not guarantee having a reputable shop.

    Thanks for the tag! :cheers:

    I’ve haven’t been actively offering installs for awhile as work/life got busy.

    You are correct. It’s a “bring your own parts” situation and unfortunately a lot of parts have extensive lead times right now so start tying to source!

    Im happy to answer any questions you may have though. Just send me a DM.

    I appreciate the referral as well, I have been installing lifts as well as cab relocations, cab chops, rear shock relocations, bumpers, electrical, and on and on. I work 8 days a week at the moment, haha!

    Appreciate everyone’s suggestions, ended up going with The Truck Shop due to the time constraints and parts availability
