Bay Area, CA guys....shop recommendations ?

In the near future, I'd like to eventually throw on a lift and some rims/tires. Are there any shops that are pretty knowledgeable in this dept w/ 04+ F150's you would recommend? I'm in the San Jose area but would travel some if it were worth while.

Thanks

My brother got his truck done at Custom Trucks Unlimited in Livermore. About 40 minutes north of you. His truck gallery is here:

I can get him in touch with you if you want. Shoot me an email if you do.

I'm going to copy this thread to your respective REGIONAL FORUM. That might give you a bit of help...

yeah i knew about them ive just heard really varying opinions on 4wheel parts. ive also heard that they are kinda expensive. im looking at lift kit warehouse in antioch or custom trucks unlimited in livermore. just trying to see if there are any other good ones out there so i can start calling for prices.

When are you going to be available again? 3 weeks?

Maybe a saturday if i pay a lil' extra?

Frankly, i have no problem doing it myself in my driveway ( i hear the rancho is a super easy install), but feel much safer on a lift and i might not have all the tools i need...
