Default Houston area SHOP to install lift? (dealer maybe?)

Has anyone bought their truck new with the dealer doing the install? ...and would they warranty it?

(i did a search and found woodlands performance, are they still open?)


thanks

Nobody would install my Truxxx lift and keep the warranty valid. It seemed like it was mostly due to the fact that I didnt buy the lift THROUGH the dealership. They have to get their mark up too!

Nobody had heard of the Truxxx lift.... Champion on Gulf Freeway said they would install a Readylift kit if I purchased through them.

Good luck...

SO who installed your truxx, and aligned it properly?

I'VE BEEN CONSIDERING LIFT OR BILSTEIN 5100, BUT INSTALLING and maintainng alignment issues, are my concern.

I live in PEARLAND and work in SUGAR LAND, so if anyone knows from experience of guys who do good work of installing and know how to do alignment on crewmax with lift, for decent wage, please chime in??

I ended up installing the lift myself. I have done a few in the past, but this one was tough. I think mostly due to the shotty directions that came with the kit.

If you dont want to install it, you may give B&C Offroad in Pasadena a shout... 4 wheel parts of course, or Allout Offroad.

I had a local shop do the alignment... They ripped me off for 100 bucks, but it was a convenience thing.

My rims came in Friday... WOO HOO!!! Now just have to finalize the tires....

Wonder what these folks charge to install and align a readylift or truxx, anyone used any of them for first hand experience?

The install isnt TOOOOO terribly bad.... just depends on what lift you go with...

But, I would say if you found a place to do it for $200, get them to do it...

Although, its pretty nice out and would be a good day project.... plus, you will know that you did it right and didnt cut corners...

I have never dealt with AllOut, but I would imagine even their work will void the warranty.... I think you have to go THROUGH the dealer to keep the warranty valid... They will take the 4 wheel parts cost, mark it up 30 percent or more, then charge you... but you will retain the warranty. My warranty will run out in another 2 months, leaving me at a total of 9 months. It wasnt beneficial to really keep my warranty valid.

I plan on doing the 5100 install myself and get my car aligned at southwest alignment.
