    Good people of TW Florida Chapter..!!

    I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I’m currently piecing togethermy suspension lift. Was wondering if anyone could recommend a good shop to install the kit plus mount & balance 5 tires and preform a full alignment.

    I don’t mind paying just want a nice clean and professional shop. I’m willing to drive north or south within a reasonable distance say 50-75 miles from my home. Any help would be much appreciated….!!!

    Might also want to call Modifications Unlimited in WPB. Pretty close by the Turnpike / Southern Blvd exit.

    They have been there forever and build some incredible trucks of all kinds. This is also where the local govt have their off-road vehicles built.

    I do my own work, but would at least talk to them for a price and references from other Tacomas they have built if I was shopping.

    Got you...!! Thanks will do. I worked at Morris 4x4 for many years, Joel the owner of WT4x4 was a very good customer of mine. how small is this FL 4x4 community :D. He quoted me already, I may do the work with him. I'm waiting on a few other quotes to review my options.
