Question Sacramento Help

I am looking for a decent shop that has worked on 3rd Gen 4Runners in the Sacramento Area. I would like to change out the stock anti-sway bars with the Addcos and the stock Tokico shocks with some Bils for better handing and performance. Thanks so much for the help.

Thanks for the thought Chris, I appreciate it. I called 4 Wheel Parts in El Camino and they do that kind of work, thanks a lot. I was just wondering though, after I change out my stock shocks and anti-sway bars, do I need a wheel alignment? Thanks for the help fellas.

No alignment unless it already needs it. You are essentially not changing the suspension geometry like you would say doing ball joint spacers.

You should save your money and do this yourself.

Take the money and get a decent set to tools. Shocks are the easiest thing you can do. Sway bar is pretty easy.

Shocks would be a perfect entry level job for a beginner.

yeah you can do it yourself. If you ever need real shop work you should look into Made In Japan or Neighborhood Garage.
