Does Anybody Do Lifts In Massachusetts???!!!
Why is it so hard to find a shop that'll do a lift for my 4Runner? Everywhere I call I'm told they don't do that. I live in the Lowell,MA area. Anyone out there from MA that can offer some assistance?

Matt,
I have been looking for someone to do competent suspension work on my rig also, but for some reason, the old school tech's at non-dealer shops seem to not want to do any of the work.
I'm looking still, and will let you know if I find anyone - btw - I am in the Boston area, so if anyone could make a referal for shock installation, springs, etc., please post.

Steve,
There's an OME distriubutor in Newton, NH but they're prices are through the roof. There's also a Sway-A-Way distributor in Hollis, NH but they told me they'd need to contact Sway-A-Way to get more information before they'd consider lifting my 4Runner. What a dissapointment. I'll keep you posted if I come up with anything. I really want to have the SAW/OME setup on my 4Runner but can't do it myself and am currently searching for a competant shop that'll do the work. To be continued...Any other MA 4Runners out there???

Check real hard and make sure you CAN lift it.. Go to the DMV page, get their calculations, go buy a slide ruler to figure it all out and then make sure your lift/tire combo will work......
**Mass CMR 540**
6.05 Maximum Combined Mechanical and Tire Lift
(1) The maximum mechanical lift for four wheel drive motor vehicles shall be calculated by multiplying the wheel base times the wheel track, and dividing the product by a safety factor of 2200:
i.e., 92" w/b x 58" w/t = 5336/2200 = 2" (maximum mechanical lift).
The outside diameter of the largest tire size available from the original manufacturer as standard or optional equipment for the particular motor vehicle may also be increased up to an amount equal to the maximum mechanical lift calculated.
(2) The maximum combined mechanical and tire lift shall be no greater than the sum of the maximum mechanical lift and increased tire size calculated for the particular vehicle.
(3) Reconstructed motor vehicles shall be limited to the maximum combined lift allowed for the particular chassis used, in accordance with the applicable provisions of 540 CMR 6.05 (1) and (2), i.e. a vehicle having a 65" track, 105" wheel base, and an original manufacturer's door height of 21" is allowed a maximum combined lift of four inches above the original manufacturer's door height. Accordingly, the lower edge of the door, door edge line or floor panel, as stipulated in the general requirements of 540 CMR 6.00, of any unladen body mounted on such chassis may not exceed 25" above the level surface upon which the vehicle rests."
Got it?? LOL... NOTE** See the change in what state I now live in
