Good off-road suspension shop in San Diego

[Thumper]

My FJ came loaded with after-market parts, including a lift kit and modified suspension. Unfortunately, it's got a weird vibration going on at high speeds. Anyone know of a good shop in San Diego that they've used for their 4X suspension needs that would have smart guys who could likely debug my problem? It's nothing obvious. TIA.

A vibration is not due to the suspension 99% of the time. It is your tires. Go to a nice tire shop that has a good wheel balancer, like the hunter something. Having a tire balanced cost lest than 15 a tire. This is most likely the issue.

Good luck solving it.

As others have posted, vibration is usually a tire balance problem. Wheel balance is resonant - it occurs in a relatively narrow speed band, say 52-58 mph, or 45-49 mph, etc., and at higher and lower speeds it goes away.

If you are experiencing vibration at all speeds, or vibration that increases with speed, and you have a manual trans, you might have a driveshaft issue...

I'd suggest checking the tire balance issue first (or at least rotate them and see if the problem goes away...).
