Default Coilover installer in NOVA??

I have my Donahoe's and 5100s in route from Wheelers and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for a good shop in NOVA that will do a good job and not charge me $500. Also want to have my Hellwig installed at the same time. TIA...

Cyberbilly; do you have experience with them? im wondering if they are worth it to drive an hour to deal with? the places in winchester will rip you off big time! especially trick trucks here as well as the 4x4 connection we have!

I have met the owner and visited their shop. They seem like a first class outfit. I'm going to have my lift done by them in two weeks. I'll let you know how I make out.

They charge $85 an hour. But now it looks like I may to have to put my installation off until February.

Next Monday is a Federal Holiday (Martin Luther King Day). My wife will also be off work that day. (Read: she doesn't like me doing stuff (spending money on) my truck.) So it will be hard for me to sneak away to get it done.

In February, I will also be off work for President's Day. She won't be off that day.

Here in NOVA the only shop I like is HI-Tech auto in Chantilly/Centreville. They are located off route 50 and 28. I have had them work on my cars and trucks. I have not had a chance have them work on my 06 truck.

Let me know if you want more information.

Chris

Hey, I pulled it off. A week ago we were out shopping and she looked at my Tundra from a distance in a parking lot. She had a puzzled look on her face and said "Why is the front of your truck lower than the back?" referring to the factory rake.

Thinking fast, I said "That's because the front shocks are wearing out. The weight of the engine is making them sag."

She replies "Well, you better get that fixed. We need to make our vehicles last a long time."

"OK Honey, no problem. I'll get them taken care of on MLK day."
