    I need a good shop in the Springs for my Tacoma with a LT suspension. The shop that just repaired it has done a less than stellar job.

    So, I don’t want to mention the name but a well known and respected shop made some mistakes when repairing my truck, I’m sure they’re great with straight axles but zip ties won’t hold tie rod or cv boots in place.... who’d a thunk it. Come to find out a mechanic at work has built many LT Toyota based vehicles and is going to be my go to. Learning a lot, these bolt on kits are in no way simply bolt on btw.

    You should mention it so we know to avoid it in the future. It would be doing all of us a favor.

    I’m not sure about your situation but I’ve worked a bit with Tanners

    I took my truck to 3D Dimensions and would never go back.

    I’m not gonna mention the name of the shop. It’s a very well known shop and does great work on jeeps, my own experience was a little unique as mine was a wreck and was towed in. That said I deal with the public professionally and while generally I think I give customers a great experience I’ve made some mistakes myself so I try to be forgiving.

    I’ll let you know in a week or so, I’m taking mine over there on Thursday. I know I have a little bit of a wave do it the frame in the rear and they said they can straighten the frame if it’s only a little bent. I’m going to have them box the rear frame, upgrade the steering rack bushings and weld on new cam tab gussets.
