[QUOTE="Jhollowell, post: 1850864, member: 20013"] I agree with the car stereo company with that stuff being easy, especially the upper arms, shocks and springs. Springs will be difficult without a proper spring compressor and of course the alignment needs a professional. I'd recommend Northstate Auto in marysville as a good shop that i've used quite a bit and have very reasonable prices. They've swapped my LCA's and tie rods as well as one CV axle and also had them flush my PS fluid recently. If you're doing the front end i'd look at the CV's too as the boots tend to tear easily. Super easy to do in the driveway though. If you're mechanically inclined, Stews garage in redmond has lift rental as well as all the tools you could need to do almost anything. They have a professional spring compressor so i was able to swap springs and install 4 rebuilt shocks on my truck in a few hours. I couldn't believe how nice it was doing that kind of work with the truck on a lift. The other option i would look at is Vogue Autoworks. Andy has a raptor and uses it so he's knowledgable with our trucks. I've not used him but he comes highly recommended from others on the FB groups. I'd expect him to be a bit more pricey though. Where are you located? I'm always down to help out on the wrenching if you want to tackle anything yourself. I'm not an expert but i've done lights, stereo installs, front suspension, bumpers, and CV's. I'd also recommend getting the cam alignment kit for the LCA's. It'll make a huge difference in the ability to align your truck. My shop thanked me the second time they had to align my when i had those installed.
