Recommend for San Francisco Bay Area suspension/lift shop ?

Complete newbie to Yotatech (well to posting anyway) so apologies if this is in the wrong forum: after checking out postings here I'm about to buy a Sonoran Steel 7.2 suspension lift kit for my '98 4Runner (4WD, 3.4, Manual) - does anyone have any recommendations for a shop in/around NorCal / The Bay Area to do the fitting ? I'm looking for somewhere that's really going to know their stuff (and actually care about more than just turning the job around as quickly as they can).

Thanks.

I'm in oakland, I think the closest suspension/lift minded shops are down in the San Jose area.

As I understand it, the lifts from SS aren't very complicated to install, i.e. if you have the necessary tools, space, etc. Just need to have a local shop setup the front shock/spring and you can even have Steve do that for you before he ships it.

My mechanic in Oakland is a stand up guy, does good work and is very honest. Glen Poy-Wing, Owner, Oakland Auto Works, (510) 597-8388.

Thanks. I have basically no tools or space - least not for this kind of thing. Steve mentioned he could setup the front shock/spring. If that was done is this something that you'd be confident letting Glen at Oakland Auto handle ? Otherwise I have some mates down near Gilroy I might take it to.

...I think the fact that my lastname is Todd may have confused the guy from Illinois. I haven't got a clue what he's on about...
