Anyone know of a good shop in Central California (Fresno) for installing a CST 6" kit? CST has been useless in helping me find an installer - they recommended a shop 4 hours away and imply that there's not a single shop in Fresno that is "mfgr authorized" to install this kit. I know that any shop worth their salt *should* be able to handle this but I don't want to end up in a pissing match with some shop if there are warranty issues. I'm willing to spend the premium for CST quality but I still don't want to risk it if there *was* a problem.
There's a 4WP here but I really don't want to have to fall back on my contingency plan, which would be a ProComp. I bought one in 1997 for my 1500 and it was a nightmare. Also haven't heard many good things about them on this forum - even though ProComp and 4WP say they've "fixed" them since that time. When I asked them if they'd install my CST (after spending $2400 on tires/wheels with them) they said no - they can only install kits they are trained on. I'm all for training and proper installation, but on the other hand I've seen several weekend mechnics on this forum saying they've installed the kits themselves and CST is telling me that anyone who's installed *any* lift should be capable of doing this. It ain't rocket science, but I know it's over my head, so I'll pay to have it done right. But where?
There's another place called Extreme Offroad in Clovis - anyone familiar with their work?
Thanks.
