    I’m trying to find a good shop in the Portland area who does good work at a reasonable price. I will be needing a ome suspension kit install with new leafs as well. Any leads? Know anyone who would be interested in helping me? Just putting it out there!
    Thx

    I might be able to assist, if I can find time.

    Otherwise I'd recommend Das Mule in the Issaquah area, not close but good work.

    Its much cheaper to do it yourself.

    Mule has a shop in Oregon now, although I'm pretty sure they don't do installs for parts you bring in.

    no luck yet, I was going to have it done at 4wheel parts but those guys are assholes, so I cancelled with them. That would be great if you could help! I’m guessing you know what you’re doing? Ha

    What specifically are you looking to install?

    I'm well familiar with the front end and could brush up on a full leaf pack install, its pretty basic. Leafs definitely need 2 people.

    Easily doable with only one person using a few extra jack stands to support the axle and then use your jack for all the lifting. I’ve done it a few times.

    If this is still happening, would it be cool if I observed? Could be an extra set of hands also. I haven’t ordered my suspension yet, would like some first hand experience.

    Also Accessory Outfitters in Aloha/Beaverton.
    They saved my butt a couple times when I needed some quick help.

    They sell OME kits/parts too.

    These guys are the best. Patrick always has great recommendations grounded in experience. They are not cheap, but they always do it right the first time.

    Hey y’all, if you’re fed up with 4 Wheel Parts (like most people end up) check out Central 4 Wheel Drive (at the Jantzen Beach Exit Baxter’s) - worth the drive imo.

    Not sure but they would most likely install customer parts if you’re ever in need.

    What are some of the costs for a full install? Also, who has down the sheet metal bend on the 3rd gen, and how was the process?

    I had a 3 1/2” RC lift (included UCA’s but has rear blocks) installed for $1300. I would guess another 300-500 for rear springs to be included.
