4x4 Shop

What's up fellow Marylanders
2006 F250 V10..... pics in gallery

Looking to put a 4.5'' DR lift and some bigger shoes under my baby, problem is I'm still stuck in an apartment = no tools/shop large enough to do the install myself.

Anyone have any recommendations as to a good 4x4 shop to use? Looking for someone who does suspension lift installs.

THANKS!!!
-Derek

What area do you live in, and how far are you willing to travel?

Ah, sorry, I have no idea in those areas. Good luck. Might be a good Idea if we start a sticky for shop listings and reviews in MD/VA/PA areas.

They've installed a lift for you? Do they order direct or would they accept me buying the materials, using them for install.

Thanks

Back in the day when I was a TTORA (Tacoma) MD Chapter member, we had custom days/meets, where people would offer their garages/work areas. We would meet to install lifts, stereos, etc. To bad you do not live closer, I love doing suspension work. Just been tight for time lately...

I think they will work with you. They haven't done any work on my rig. I've seen their shop and their work. So have the covers of many magazines. They gave me an 1137 page color catalog of parts and accessories you can choose from when I stopped by in Dec.
