I used to do my own suspension intalls, and the Tacoma looks pretty straight forward (way more so than twin I-beam and SLA IFS kits I did on our Exploders). But, alas, with three kids and a career, I haven't the time to spend a day wrenching ... so I think I'll just pay someone else to do it. :D
Given the huge contingent of Phoenix area residents and Tacoma/4Runner/FJC owners on ExPo, I figured there has to be some recommended shops in the Valley for suspension work. I used Desert Rat (Tempe) do the Skyjacker c/os on our Liberty and they did OK; it was their first KJ, and they forgot to tighten a strut bolt, which resulted in maddening clunking. Still, not sure I'd go back (and I mainly used them for convenience anyway).
I'll be ordering full OME kit (with 886s and Dakars) and might proactively get a Tom Woods 1-piece driveline (although I've no idea on lead time for orders). Would love if alignment could be done at or near the shop as well.
I live in Chandler, work in Tempe and would be willing to use just about an East Valley located shop (from Scottsdale to Chandler and out to Mesa/Gilbert).
Recommendations?
Thanks :beer:
