    Hello all. I had a long post written out and had to take a call. Came back and it was all gone. So I'll make this short and sweet.
    I wanted a Tacoma but family(wife) didn't like trucks so middle ground was a 05 sequoia 4wd. The wife like the space.
    So Im looking for some local shops that can do front strust, rear springs and Trans flush.
    I did the ball joints and all that other stuff and I usually do all my maintenance but with a big suv I cant get it in the garage after I switched to 265/70/17 (roof rack hits the top of the garage pretty bad) and I live on a steep hill.

    So any recommendations for locals. I have a few shops in my area that can do it, but if I can give my business to any shops here I'll be glad to.
    Thanks.
    I'm in Glendale near montrose. 210 and 2 fwy meet. But I'm pretty free to drive south or north.


    Edit: forgot to put my location
