    New guy here. Am looking to lift my Tacoma and was wondering if anyone can suggest good shop in Central Oregon. Ideally I would order the lift I want and have a shop put it in. I'm leaning toward a OME or a 5100 coilover lift. The one shop I talked to (don't want to mention names) wanted to do a 2 1/2" blocks up front a 1" block in the rear for 750.00. Wanted to stay away from blocks. Any suggestions on a good shop would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I'm running OME and it suits my need here in bend. I'm a weekend warrior when it comes to offroading. Other day I took my tacoma to Christmas valley and hit the dunes and it held up great.

    Thanks guys for the reply's. I talked to Suspension Specialties and they seemed very knowledgeable and willing to put in any lift I want.

    Jasclair, who installed your lift?

    I did my own, saved $300. I recommended doing yourself if you want to save money but not time. That was the first time I ever installed a lift and it went well but took 2 days to do since it was my first time.

    If the front coils and shocks are already assembled, lifting a tacoma is a pretty easy half day job if you have the tools to do it yourself.

    Thanks again for the feedback. I'm a welder by trade so not scared of getting my hands dirty but work 20plus hours a week overtime and I'm lazy...... Would really like to just drop it off and pick it up. Pretty pathetic but honest. ;)

    Okay update, ended up getting off my a$$ and doing it myself. Turned out pretty good. Thanks to the few that had feedback. Was pretty easy just time consuming.

    Ps. Did the front too but forgot pictures. Did it yesterday and it was hotter than blank.

    Looks real good. I especially like your choice in rims...

    Here are a few pictures of the rock sliders in case anyone is interested in getting them from Marshall Offroad Fabrication (out of Vancouver Wa). They blend nicely with the truck. Can hardly notice they are there.

    Did you use the 1/4" top spacer in the front?
