    18" tires and rims, 2.75" Procomp lift, Fox shocks in rear.
    I recently purchased the Pro Comp 65660K lift kit for my 2014 2.7L 5-lug Tacoma. I'm also planning to complete my purchase of Bilstein 4600 5-lug front and rear shocks. I figured that since the lift kit install requires removing all of the shocks, I may as well upgrade the shocks at the same time.

    Anyway, do you have any advice on how to find a good mechanic who can do this work, or can any suspension shop do it? And since mechanics in my area charge $100/hour, how many hours should I budget for?

    Thanks.

    You'll get more success in the 5 lug forum.

    This is really a pretty easy driveway install. Consider a DIY.

    I'll wager as you shop for prices you'll find

    A) shops that won't touch a spacer lift
    B) shops that will want a shocking number of hours
    C) Shops that won't guarantee the job, because you are bringing them the parts.

    Thanks. I'll move it to the 5-lug forum.
