Hello all,

Are any of you up here in the Pacific NW and can recommend a good suspension lift shop for my 2001 F250 CC?? Down in CA there are many, but I'm hoping to find one around the Greater Seattle area (50 mile radius)

Thanks

Tony

 

Proof's in the pudding, so what I recommend is to ask a handful of customers with lifted trucks where they got theirs done. See if there's a recurring #1 shop. Then, visit one or two of the most recommended shops and see if you can't check out their installation while they work on a truck. Ask customers in the shop about their experiences with that shop, how good their installations are, their equipment, and how talented their installers are?

That's what I would do versus throwing a dart at a name in the yellow pages. And that's what I did to find an awesome 4WD/truck store in Visalia, CA.

Good luck,
DS

 

DS, is that shop in northern or southern Ca?, I'll be in Petaluma, CA in Jan for a week on a training mission with the Coast Guard. There's a possibility to get it done then. Your thoughts on that option?

It's actually between SoCal and NorCal. Visalia is located between Bakersfield and Fresno off Interstate 99. The shop is called "Hardcore 4X4". They specialize in Ford trucks, ProComp and FabTech suspensions. Ask for Donny (the owner) at (559) 733-3278, M-F 8:30 to 5. Tell him Daryl Stone sent ya! These guys know their stuff and race @ Pismo all the time. Let me know how it goes...

PS- I just checked on maps.com and Visalia is about 250 miles from Petaluma, so about 500 miles roundtrip from Petaluma. A bit of a drive, but if you have the time and want to make a small trip of it so you can enjoy the new lift on a nice ride back.... Go for it!

 

Hey Tony,
Did you attend lockmasters school May 2003

 

check out www.snort4x4.com it's a PNW BB that might be better for info around Seattle. I would say S&N fab in Arlington but they do more custom stuff.

Olympic Off Road in Tacoma. First class service, totoal satisfaction guaranteed. Very reasonable pricing. They stand behind everything they do. I have had 4 Different Ford trucks done by them. Very satisfied.

(253) 473 5797 Ask for Tod, He is the owner, He should be there until 3pm on Saturday. Michael from Fox Island sent you BTW

 

olympic offroad is where you want to go.im in allentown pa.but lived just out side tacoma randy deck is the top wrench there know him for over 20 yrs. between tod and randy they will take care of you good luck.

 

And this is the key. I did the suspensions on my first five trucks. Usually there were bugs to work out and sometimes things were just not right and I would have to hassle with the factories for weeks and months to get things right.

Tod and Randy get it right. When there is a problem...They take care of it..Period. No hassles for you at all. That is worth something and yet their prices are as good as anyone else. I will NEVER do my own again. It just is not worth it for me. I like having it like it came from the factory that way. They can do it all, top to bottom.

I just can not say enough good about these guys.

 

Thanks for all of the replies I'm going to make some calls on monday to schedule a new lift and tires installed
