    Does anyone know of a good place to get some suspension installed in Orange County? I bought some new stuff for my truck but unfortunately don't have the knowledge or ability to install myself.

    Thanks!

    You could probably post in the OC or SoCal thread and offer a case of beer and someone will help. Probably. Maybe.

    This plus a willingness to learn how to do it yourself. Also maybe some meat for grilling.

    I recommend trying to meet a few of us from the OC thread first. That's what I did. Went on a run or two while stock, met some dudes. Offered up meat and beer for whoever taught me how to install. Now I got kings.

    I'm getting my 5100s installed tomorrow at JBM Motoring in Orange. I'll let you know how it goes.

    I can do it as well if you end having to pay for install if your willing to drive to N. County, I have tons of guys that come from OC to get work.
    Just as an option...

    ^^^Good choice right here :thumbsup:

    But then again I didn't feel like paying someone $500+ for stuff I can do myself. 4 hours later..... easy peasy :thumbsup: I understand if you don't have the knowledge, tools, or place. It's good to hang around with the guys and learn. Instead of paying some shop who could screw up your truck and try to hide it. Not that suspension is hard to screw up but I've seen it happen unfortunately :facepalm:
