I have had my 3" OME lift with Toytek spacer and Man-A-Fre lower control arms installed at Mudrak before the Mojave run. Gary did a fantastic job on the installation, everything fit, was clean, and properly torqued.
He did not like the way it sat high in the front with the spacers, so he added ARB rear spring spacers to level it out. It looks perfect to me.
Gary does everything from hardcore old school landcruisers to our FJ's.
His shop was a haul for me (East Bay to Sonoma) but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I just had to mention this to anyone looking at that lift kit in your garage waiting to be installed, or have seen pictures of spring cups installed upsidedown, or incorrectly clocked springs, there is a place to get it done right!

My install which included springs, shocks, spacers front and rear, and Man-A-Fre lower control arms (+ press in the stock bushings) ran ~$450 and took 1-2 days.
After seeing all of the F***ed up amature installs done by various 4x4 shops, I decided to spend money and not worry about the quality of the work.

cruizin4bruzin, you and I have the same lift. I take it you are using the Toytek rear springs with the OME N71 shocks. Gary added an ARB rear spacer to make it level, how does yours sit?

I've know Gary since I got my fj40 back in 97. He's done a ton of work for me, and has always been fair, with high quality work. He's also a great guy to hit the trails with.
Yes, it's a haul. Having Gary's experience, and years of knowledge, as well as being a great source for MAF and ARB stuff has worked out well in the past. He's also a really great fabricator.
If you go to his customer reviews page, you'll also see a number of "names" from the Land Cruiser world have been satisfied customers.. MCC - Mudrak Custom Cruiser
