    Hey All,

    I just moved up to NorCal and looking for a serious suspension garage that can also align and tune well. I just picked up a 3rd gen Tacoma OR, but the previous owner did some really ganky things with cheap lift blocks and spacers (as well as putting brand new 305/65/17 BFG K02's on what looks like Rhino's - which will be for sale very soon).

    Im putting in Camburg Uniball UCA, Fox 2.5 front 2.0 and Icon AAL on the truck. Will also want to level and align. I'm in an apartment for a while so cant really wrench, and either way I want a good alignment guy/gal.

    Does anyone have recs for East Bay or Sacramento?

    Thanks

    Welcome to TW, there's a bunch of people around that would be willing to give a hand in helping you install your setup for some food or beer.

    There's also a Mod Day coming up soon in Sacramento: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/sacramento-mod-me-day-5-5-2018.541073/ and in South-East Bay: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/norcal-south-east-bay-mod-day-5-4-28-18.540982/

    If you're in the east bay, Motorsport Techniques in Hayward is a great shop for suspension installs and alignments.

    Where are you located? Sounds like someone is stationed at TAFB?

    Wow thanks for the quick connection. Mod Day sounds great, would love to meet some Northern CA taco enthusiast. I will definatly be connecting with Sacramento group.

    And @jca thanks for Motorsport ref.

    I’ve owned gen 1 years ago and am selling my gen two taco. This is my first third gen and I’m itching to heal the silly things the previous owner did to it with and get it up and out in the dirt.

    Are you out or in a program similar to the MECEP?
