    Your post implies that you are installing the front struts once they are assembled.

    Instead of assembling the struts and then installing them, just install them using the "no spring compressor method".

    This video is for a Tacoma but still very applicable to our 4Runners.

    Southern California is huge, narrowing it down to county, city. Might help also.

    Try Jimahajer Garage in Anaheim. Appointments only and they are closed on Monday. Highly Rated.

    Lot of shops will not do it because they want to sell the product and install it too. Thx for the recommendation.

    I would call Jimahajer and ask, 88 Rotors also has the equipment to do what you’re asking as well.

    Just called Jimhajer and they can do it, and for a very resonable price.

    Thx guys.

    Glad you liked them. They installed rear springs for me and will probably be getting more of my business as well. They do pretty much everything, suspension, lighting etc..
