    all the shops i call are expensive so i might as well get it done at toyota but how much do they charge for a 3" lift? i think they do the ready lift one which is bad because i want the AAL not block so can i tell the to do AAL instead?
    OR.....
    can i get the tsb done and at the same time have them install a top plate spacer that i have from hell bent steel, do they do that? how much do u think it will cost?

    thanx guys :)

    where are you in Cali? if you are in socal, there this guy called "EZlift" in Garden grove sells AAL and spacers + installation for a great price. I don't recommend going to the dealership since they know absolutely about lifts and what not. All they know is how to charge a grip for the products they sell in their parts department!

    Have you tried the LA Burbank area? I pass quite a few places in those area's as well as the Pasadena area! Don't go to Toyota,by the time they are done bending you over,you could have bought 2 lifts for the price of 1 !:eek:

    Just think about this: Toyota could (will probably) take your truck to an offroad shop and have them do it....so you'll have to pay the offroad shop price...plus whatever the dealership tacks on there for good measure.
