    Hello- I wanted to find a good aftermarket suspension installment/alignment shops for our trucks around the Seattle area. I need to new parts installed on my front/rear suspension of my 2014 Taco. Also have it all aligned properly. Would like to go to a shop that is reputable for Toyota. Any help on this would be great.

    Ok- I see your Micheal's Toyota. In the front I'm looking to have some aftermarket upper/lower control arms installed then aligned. On the rear at set of leaf springs and after market shocks installed. I already have all of the parts. What would be the price to do something like this? -thanks.

    I had Mule Expedition Outfitters in Issaquah install my OME lift kit last month (including alignment) and was very happy with the service and the outcome.

    What exactly do you do? What sort of install work? Is it through Michael's shop? I may be pulling the trigger on a rig this weekend w/Michael's if the numbers are right.
