    Ok. One of the main guys a lot of people go to is Jason @Speed Freek, he’s down in Vista, Corona May be closer so depends on how you want to approach it, but I’ve gone to Jason for multiple things I didn’t want to mess with myself and he’s a solid dude.

    There is also another member in Santa Ana, just not sure how often he does installs. If you DM me I can give you his name.

    @Jut1... if Jason doesn't get back to you right away keep trying. He's in high demand and keeps very busy but he know what the hell he's doing and takes good care of every customer.

    Just had a lift completed by Jason, if you can make it work logistically he is the guy to do it. Excellent work and far less expensive.

    Yup!! Go to Jason @Speed Freek

    He’ll hook you up



    Someone wanted to charge you $2300 without the parts for that?????? Or did I misunderstand the quote you got. If that was your quote for labor I hope they feed you filet mignon on a gold plated platter in the waiting room of that shop and then have a girl that gives you a lap dance before you leave

    When you said parts not included, maybe you meant labor not included?

    Ended up at The Truck Shop off Miramar in San Diego. Great guys, great prices, great service.

    Totally stoked I went with them. Would recommend them to anyone in the area. Not as cheap as some of the other TW options and people willing to help on an install, but for end-to-end service with a loaner car on offer, they were hard to beat given my needs and time availability to have work done. Would go back.
