Which shops in Colorado install SS lift kits?

RockyMtRunner · 01-19-2007, 08:09 PM

I am planning a Sonoran Steel lift #1 or #7. If you live in Colorado and run a SS lift kit, I would like to know who did the installation for you and how satisfied you are with the results. I am searching for an installer who knows 3rd Gen 4Runners has experience with the SS kits. Thanks.

you will have to call around, most shops dont like installing products that they didnt sell you, depending on where your at, ask your fellow yotatechers, Im sure someone would be willing to help you install it, Id be willing to help, if your not to far.

send me a PM

I'd suggest as Ric does above...find a fellow Yotatecher to help you for some $$$.

Ric · 01-19-2007, 09:04 PM

heck you wouldnt have to pay me, I like wrenching, well I like learning, lol, Doug and I did my lift, wasnt hard at all, (thankx Doug

) Ill be doing the stainless steel brake lines, here as soon as the weather warms up.

OR:
you post up a "wrench-a-thon" and offer to buy beer and food, you will have people coming out of the wood work, lol

Any shop or mechanic can install it. It does not have to be an off road shop. Everything that is not covered in the factory service manual has written directions with pictures.

Where in CO do you live and what days/time are you free?
Shops are not going to know about a "SS" lift.

Off Road Solutions and Slee know all about them. I sell way more of these lift kits than anyone realizes and a good half of them ship directly to Auto Repair shops. Not a single one of these guys has ever missed a beat. Every once in a while I get a home installer that is completely over their head, I help them all I can over the phone, but I'm not there.

Any Professional Mechanic can install the kit and as I have said time and time again, instructions are included for everything not covered in the Factory Service Manual.

What part of Colorado do you live? As Ric and Rocket said, we could get a wrench fest going and crank it out. You may want to wait till warm weather or do you have a heated garage? There are quite a few of us in the Denver area that have done mild lifts to complete SAS.

Thank you for suggesting Slee and ORS. A special thanks to everyone who offered to lend a hand. I'll save this thread for reference as I continue to plan. I live in Colorado Springs and enjoy stock wheeling on the easy to moderate forrest roads off of Gold Camp Road. But if I ever want to try Eagle Rock or Saran Wrap without using any of the bypasses, I know I'll need some mods, starting with sliders and a lift to accommodate 33's.
