    Cost is pretty accurate because the ECGS bushing/solid spacer they have to remove the cv axle and the shop will charge more. Ask some local members, we did my buddy’s at an offroad park rear leafs and shocks in 1 hour front UCAS, coils, ECGS bushing and sway bar spacer in 1-2 hours

    I'm near Johns Creek. Just starting to order my suspension. Was thinking of using GAS if I miss the mod day.

    Just let me know what you wanna do and I'll talk with my roommate (he owns the house) and we can see what we can do. Shouldn't be hard since you have a 2017 (If your info is correct) so no rust :fingerscrossed:

    Edit: Now for the ECGS bearing I haven't done it so not sure about that

    ECGS bearing is not necessary at this point. Just make sure you do the diff drop and CB drop.

    I live in gainesville and will help you do it for free (well a 6 pack of beer)
    EDIT:
    @BYJOSHCOOK is good too- may even try and head there to help if you get something worked out. Never done the ECGS bearing but we can watch Youtube.

    I've had a few quotes. 2 shops at:

    $400 lift
    $100 for Bushing
    $100 for CMC

    Others were higher with some outrageous in the thousands.

    Call around. I found a small shop I'm comfortable with - guy is a ex-Toyota mechanic.

    Good question to ask is...whens the last time you've done a lift on a Tacoma. Some of the responses I got scared me.

    Seems pretty fair. $650 for the lift install and $200 for the ECGS

    do it yourself if you can.

    I would do it myself and save the coin to buy more upgrades,

    oh, wait,

    I just did that.

    But I do understand not everyone is so inclined to start taking apart a $30+k vehicle.

    But then again, I took my HD of the showroom and tore the motor down and built it before it even had $1k miles on it so....

    I rented a bay with a lift (I realize that's not possible for everyone) and had buddies help with it when I did my Toytec boss 2.0 lift, took about 4-5 hours and my only cost was like $20 for the bay and the cost of lunch for everyone

    Wait, like Joint Terminal Attack Controller??? Or is that an acronym for the automotive center on post?

    Acronyms aside I've always found the best way to go is to make nice with the mechanics in the motorpool....Always some good ol' boys who will do anything for you for a roll of dip and a six pack....Great if you get in a pinch and need help getting pulled out of the mud or something like this too.

    Shops around socal charge 300$ For ecgs just for info on that cost. So his price on lift isnt crazy off with that and a lift. Also is alognment included dont forget to factor that in.
