Default Good place for suspension install?

Looking to install new Shocks/Springs on my GS. Anyone know of a reasonable place to get it done? (Besides Jeff...I'm going to ask him about it.)

I might be able to help you out. Im always looking to make alittle extra cash & help out my local NTL buddies. What kinda suspension are we talking about. New springs & shocks, using your exsisting top rubber donuts, or all new completed shock/spring combo, that just needs swapped with stock suspension. Also are the rear shocks accessable from the truck, or does the rear seat need to come out to access, or rear deck.

I don't have a spring compressor though. I'd rather take it to someone that knows what they're doing.

Its pretty easy...just make sure you dont mess up any sensors...They cost a pretty penny. Jeff can do it but I think he might be busy.
