So cal is quite a big place, PM socalocfj and see where he got his done, there are plenty of shops, just depends where you live. If you were getting a 3" I'd offer my services for cheap, 12 pack and pizza.

I'd be up for an install, but my skill level only goes up to 3" lifts.

I installed my RC 6", it was not a bad day project. If you feel like coming up to Victorville let me know.

Re: Best place to install lift kit in SoCal?

I was brave enough to have my 3" done at a 4 wheel parts... No issues yet. Based solely on my experience, I'd recommend them, but there's a trick to it, so PM me if interested.

PM if you wanna do it. If you call RC and talk to "Ben" he will give you the forum price and UPS it to you. Once you install it you will need to get an alignment. You will also have to either run wheel spacer/adapters or after market wheels with 4" or less backspacing. I am running 2" spacers, but you could get away with 1" or 1.25" depends on what look you want.

Hey now....

It all depends on the particular store.

For me, I got my OME lift at 4WheelParts in Laguna Hills. I highly recommend them.
