Hey guys! My KZJ78 is in need of a suspension upgrade since I still have the old shocks and springs from when I bought it in Japan. I ordered the 2” lift kit from Dobinsons and I have been going around to different shops in my area to see about getting the kit installed. The problem is that since it’s a Japanese import, all three shops are not willing to work on the vehicle. They claim that if they work on my truck and it needs replacement bolts, bushings, etc, they won’t be able to order it. Another shop said something similar to the first shop but they added that they don’t know the specs anything has to be set to since there’s nothing in their sources on how to work on my rig. The other shops don’t install equipment not bought from them or they say they are 3-4 weeks booked.
I think I have to do this myself. Is there a complete step-by-step on how to install the kit myself? Anything in particular I should watch out for if I want to tackle this myself?
The main reason why I wanted to pay someone was so they align it and it’ll be faster since they have lifts and I don’t have enough time during the day but I’ll have to make time. Also, is alignment an issue for imported trucks? I honestly think they simply didn’t want the business and threw all the excuses at me haha
