    3" lift kit. 17" wheels and tires, custom grill, full technology package, Early model running boards, Push bar.
    Thinking of putting a lift kit on my new 2016 TRD that I Just bought. Are there any good shops in the area that spec in 4-wheel drive ?
    Also, any local meetings or groups?

    Where you want to be
    I just dropped mine off at HellBent Performance in Chesterfield. I've used them before on my '08 JK and they do good work. Labor rate might be high, but I haven't compared to others around. There's Pure Performance off of Cave Spring in St. Peters. I've hear mixed reviews on that shop but haven't been there personally.

    Do it yourself and save a TON of money. If you're gonna pay someone to do it, Scott Carline, the owner of Axleboy in St. Peters, MO is a former Toyota guy. He specializes in Jeeps now but is trust him to do anything. OR....I have a close personal friend that is the absolute best Toyota tech I've ever met and he does work out of his garage on the side. He does a lot of lift installs and you won't get a better labor rate at any other shop.
