    Good afternoon,

    Anyone have experience or recommendation on a shop in Orange County to do the install of a lift suspension? I've tried to search function but that was not any help. Yelp was also no help either. Any recs would be greatly appreciated!

    I have personal experience with my install. I can't recommend any one else. Good luck.

    Do you tune suspension as well? What about rear main seal?

    @itaro always has time on his hands. If you're patient and ask for help in the OC thread I'm sure a few will help you for the cost of beer.

    Haha, pretty random. Suspension tuning and a rear main seal.
    I do suspension tuning for myself but dont really do much outside of that. I know of a guy who does locally though, and he does it a lot (@TC yota ) hes pretty good at that stuff for customers.
    As for the rear main seal I can, damn transmission is in the way so its gotta go, lol.

    Well, I am looking to pick up some Kings pretty soon and want them valved correctly for what I want to do.

    And my rear main is going bad so I want to get that replaced. If you can/want to tackle it, shoot me a PM with your price. I have cash and (enter drink of choice).

    @heffer I can't thank you enough for the offer. I do have tools but it wouldn't be enough to get the lift install smoothly. Once this suspension is install, I can't wait to go out to these meets and day trips with members on this forum. Solid people on this forum who are willing to help others!

    Cheers! :cheers:
