This is a discussion thread titled "Lift..", within the Northwest forum, part of the News and Events category.
I wanna lift my truck, but I dont have the tools to go about doing this. Can anyone recommend a place to go and have them do it? I havent purchased the lift either.. :/
I went to a Les Schwab or whatever and they quoted me around $600 for the lift and install (revtec) and about half a day worth of time to do it.. Sounded a little steep.
Input?

$600.00 does not sound that bad to me. You can try 4Wheel Parts or Central 4WD in Kent. There are a few more places in the Tacoma area if you want to travel that far.

Choose Readylift or Truxxx, buy it, bring a case of beer, and we'll bang it out at my house one Sat or Sun...that goes for about anyone in the area.
If you choose one that compresses in the coilover, we'll have to rent a spring compressor as that is one tool I do not have.

Did you do anything else other than just the lift? Add a leaf? Diff drop? I really dont know what all I should get when it comes to ordering the lift.. :/

I did the Truxxx lift, which included rear blocks and a diff drop, I installed it all myself.
I added SuperSprings because I haul and tow alot.
The SuperSprings also added some lift, so after a while, I removed the rear blocks.
If you just want to level it, get the 2.4" and a diff drop (diff drop is cheap and it will only help)
Keep in mind, if you haul or tow anything, your azz will look like it's draggin' a bit when loaded.
If you want a bit of lift and still keep some factory rake, go with the Truxxx, it includes everything you'll need and you can always change out the rear blocks later for springs or air bags if needed.
When we are done, you'll just need to get an alignment asap (I drove a week, about 400 miles before I got mine done, but it pulled quite a bit, and wore the tires some).
Are you planning on changing out wheels and/or tires right away?

I want the lift with the rake. I do not want saggy truck butt when towing/hauling anything. So with that, I shall be ordering the lift with the diff drop. I'll get at you when the lift arrives and see if we can set up a time to get together.
Favorite beer?
And I'll be getting tires/wheels soon, but there really isnt a set date, so I'll just get the alignment soon after the lift.

I say go with the Truxxx, let me know when you get it and we'll set something up.
As for beer, summer time I really like Red Stripe
or these work too...
Hell, who am I kidding? I really doesn't matter as long it not the bottom of the barrel crap, I just like beer.

Before buying the truxxx, Id look into lowrangeoffroad.com, they have a new lift out. Tundraheadquarters (can I name names??) also did a review on it. Worth a look.
