    Got a pretty steep bid for labor from 4 Wheel Parts in Tigard for shock and airbag install. I’m now considering buying the parts and having them installed locally. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good shop/tech? Thanks!

    Labor at most shops is going to be ridiculous.

    I had gotten quotes of $1,200 just to swap shocks/coilovers, ucas, and leaf springs...

    A lot of folks just buy parts and do it themselves.

    If you decide to tackle it yourself but need a garage/lift/tools you should check:
    GearHead Garage in Tigard
    13955 SW 72nd Ave, Tigard, OR 97223
    (503) 670-9900

    Mike (GearHead owner) is pretty chill and will often lend a hand if he is not busy, but all in all is a DIY garage.

    Many of us have gone there to work on our rigs, so i can guarantee he'll have all the tools you need for a regular suspension lift.

    Depending on day/time and how much workload i have, i may be able to lend a hand.

    Exactly. If I can get this it’s a done deal.
