Unhappy Need help in Sacramento


Well, after I got a couple miles on my OME springs in the back of my 97 Runner, the Passenger side is sitting slightly higher than the driver's side. This has happened to many of us. I am convinced that I just need to swap the springs from one side to another. Failing that, installing trim packers. UInfortunately for me, to save a few bucks, I had an unknowledgeable alignment shop do the install and they are totally unwilling to give me a deal to switch them around. My opinion, the people at G&R Alignment in Sac are rude people with no concern for customer service.
To the point, is there anyone with the tools that could assist me in swapping my springs around to see if this fixes the problem? Lemme know! Thanks.

That's why I asked, cuz I don't have them either. Its an easy job to swap the springs, provided you can get the thing off the ground.

I'm not sure if Central4WD does installs or not, but you could try them. While you're at it, order one of those receiver hitch shackles I got us a group buy on.

Here's their info:
Central 4WD
3248 Auburn Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95821

Manager: Jim Stommel
Phone: (916) 481-7842
Fax: (916) 481-5663

There used to be a really good 4x4 shop in Auburn on N. Hwy 49 going towards Grass Valley. They might be able to help you.
