New Tacoma Owner. Wondering where to get some work done in VA.

Hey guys,

I just recently picked up a 2015 DCSB TRD OR back in March. Loving the truck, but I've wanted to put some new wheels and tires on it since day one. I don't do a lot of off-roading, however, I've been a lurker on here enough to know I don't want to waste my money on spacers, should I get the urge. I'm thinking of either going with just the Bilstein 5100's all the way around, or getting the top setup: http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/headstrong-kits-tacoma-05-6-lug.html with Eibach coils. I'll also be adding Stealth Custom Series 16" F5's and am on the fence about either Hankook Dynapro's MT or Mickey Thompson MTZ's in a 285. I really only want to take it up 2.5 as I'm trying not to have to get new UCA's right now.

Feel free to offer up advice about your likes or dislikes on any of that, my main question is, is there a spot/thread on TW where I can search for someone to help or just straight up pay to do the lift install? I just recently moved to Lynchburg, VA and condo-life has got me living life without a garage/tools to get the work done. I'm willing to pay anyone with some experience, and/or recommendations of where I can get the work done close by, I'm just not wild about paying the $6-700 quotes I've gotten from some local custom shops in town. Also, let me know if I'm crazy for thinking that is too high.

Appreciate all y'all's feedback for the new guy !

Welcome to TW fellow Virginian! In my past experience with lifts you should consider checkin out icons for the front worth every penny

I've heard good things about Icon. Definitely looking into that setup. Now to figure out where to get the work done...

Do it yourself and save
Not a difficult install at all.

Icons are good, but likely overkill based on your use. If you plan to go with coilovers consider FOX as well, they are a little more affordable.

Most seem to love this set-up (5100/coil combo) though, plenty of feedback on it here

Thanks for the info, Mr Salty! I'd be happy to do it myself, but I don't have the tools here to knock it out.
