Any recs for 4x4 shops in SF Bay Area?

I'm interested in a lift kit and I'm looking at the RevTek and ARB OME kit. There's a 4 wheel parts wholesaler in the south bay, which is supposed to be an ARB disti.

Any one have experience w/ them or have a rec in the peninsula?

Are you in the San Francisco Bay Area?

EDIT nevermind. Saw the topic.

Most people just order their kits online and install it themselves. There are plenty of lift threads here, figure out which one will work best for you adn order it. Saty away from 4WP, they dont get Yotas or IFS for the most part.

Cool, I'm sure it's easy but I'm impatient. Easier for me to drop it off and pick up, busy already w/ my other hobbies...

Any recs on 4x4 specific shops that I could trust?

Mudrak himself just bought an FJC. He's the guy to take your truck to if you don't want to do it your self. You'll get excellent work from him at a fair price.
