SoCalers: Recommendation for a shop...

Hi,
I just bought some Bilsteins and need to get them installed on my 3rd gen. Anyone have any recommendations for shops? How much does it usually run to get the shocks installed. I will probably be getting an alignment and wheels balanced as well, any recommendation for those? I know I need to find a shop with a Hawkee (sp?) adapter right? Thanks.

I concur with Lance - nothing like that satisfying feeling when you stand back and look at your truck after finishing a mod you've just installed

I would suggest, however, that you go take your truck to a place like Sears that has the lifetime alignments. Pay for it once and go back whenever you want

Now does it include free alignments if I change my suspension setup?!?! jk

Anyone willing to help me out with this this weekend? I know its short notice, but if anyone can help me out today or tomorrow, that'd be great.

I don't see why it wouldn't.
An alignment is an alignment, right?
