    What shops do you guys recommend getting work done (Lift, tires, wheels, etc) - if I'm putting into consideration expense, as well as quality of work, etc? Thanks for any info!

    Off Road Warehouse does some decent work otherwise there are quite a few Baja shops that can do it.

    No, there are quite a few local shops that make hi end baja style buggys for racing. Sorry for the confusion.

    I saw that SoCal suspension in El Cajon area is doing a promo on lift kits. I've seen the work they did on a 2016 as well. They seem to be really good and have been around for quite awhile. I'm just not ready to pull the trigger on mine yet. Hopefully soon.

    Maybe one of the shops here in SD can give us a better deal if we do a "group buy" on lift kits and wheels and tires, if enough people are interested.

    I highly recommend the truck shop too. They do great work and if you get bored in their waiting room, they're next door to a strip club.

    Absolutely, thank you for the kind words.
    I can do any work you need and still less that ORW and 4WP and I am also a Toyota master tech so let me know if I can help. Just got done with a 2016 LT build so finally have some free time again.

    I want to do Bilsteins 5100 and add a leaf to my truck. I can buy the bilsteins cheaper through jet.com as some suggested through here but when I call, SoCal suspension, the savings I get wiped out by what they charge for the installation. Would you be able to do it instead?

    Absolutely, I got ya covered. PM me and we will set it up, you can wait while I do it to make things easier as well. No problem bud. I have worked on at least 50+ members of the forum's trucks. And you can watch the installation which is always nice to see happen.
