Thoughts on this quote from my local shop?

I don't see much here in Bay Area though.

 

I'd suggest shopping around for best prices for parts and purchase separately then take all in to a competent mechanic. 500 just for a grill swap seems ridiculous..plus a lot of that you could do by yourself on the weekends. Don't know what you do. But my time is cheaper than 125.00 an hour. Lol

 

Over $3K in labor.

 

Not exactly as mentioned but here's mine with Kings. Slightly lifted with 265's. I could go a little larger on tires but didn't want to compensate on mpgs and power. I know some people have said it looks like everyone else's truck but I really don't care because it's the best suspension ride quality you really can get, maybe that's why people get it. And to @Doggman point you really don't see them on the road as much you think. I've only seen 2 other Tacomas on the road with similar suspension and I live in socal where every other truck is a Tacoma. I see more of the bilstein 5100 lift and spacer lift than anything. Good luck with your decision OP. Hope this helps your decision even if it's the other direction.

 

Thanks, appreciate it.

 

125/ hr labor is high. Most places I see are in the $75-$90/ hr

 

Sweet setup bro.

 

Nice!

 

I am having a hard time finding the shop to do the lift and would like to try using my stock rims (17") for the time being. What is the biggest tire I can do without having to do any trimming or rubbing? Thanks.

 

Ya.. me too! That's dirt cheap. I got my set for $780 shipped and I thought that was a deal

 

Thank you so much @rnicholls

 

Insane. If you were in AK I'd help you do it. The only thing worth paying for is the mount and balance. Learn to turn wrenches, find a local group, learn shit.

 

No, not yet.

 

Not yet, still not sure what to do...
