Shop for Customer Supplied Lift Kit Install - East WA or NE OR?

[tehfrr]

Can I please get recommendations for a competent and trustworthy shop experienced with Jeeps? I have a Teraflex 3.5" lift kit with 8 adjustable control arms coming in next week. Unfortunately I caught the shop I was going to use trying to pull some shady bs. I live in an apt complex so attempting a self install isnt really ideal.

Im in the Tri Cities area (Richland/Kennewick/Pasco), willing to travel a couple hours in any direction (Yakima, Spokane, Hermiston, LaGrande, Walla Walla, etc).

Not much in the way of off-road oriented shops around us here in the Columbia Basin... That said, there are plenty of us who wrench on our own junk and have been doing so for 30+ years. I'd be happy to help, or recommend a few other buddies that would/could as well.

You could always come to Silverdale WA and go to Northridge 4x4. They are a site sponsor. I know they are out a couple months to do any installs, but I would recommend them. They are in the middle of my install. Coilovers, axles, etc

Its a drive from ya but there is a DIY shop in Kirkland, WA called Stews Self Service Garage. They have every tool on hand, lifts etc. Pay by the hour or day.

Currently living in an apartment too and installed my last trucks lift kit there.

After doing a few driveway installs, nothing beats airtools and a lift.

Pro tip (what I learned) - If directions say its going to take 4 hours, book 8

Thank you for the responses, appreciate the info!

tobyw - would be interested in the future, not sure where to meet local folks and Im definitely interested in learning to be more self reliant with respect to maintenance and minor repairs/upgrades
Mr.BoJangles_91 - If its anything like the winch install, probably x4 instead of x2

You bet!

When we first moved to this area, we found and joined the local off road club. It's called the Peak Putters, and they have monthly meetings and several organized runs throughout the year. We moved from here to Southern Idaho for a few years, and when we came back we didn't rejoin the club but still associate with several members and whatnot. Good group of folks, lots of knowledge and resources among them, might be something for you to look into?

Fuller Automotive in La Grande: he's a Jeep guy and does great work.
