Try out National Speed off of Gordon RD. Just outside Ogden. Talk to Jordan.

the tC springs are a pain in the ___ from what i've heard. i had a friend of mine in Goldsboro said he did it and he wouldn't do it again. His tC has a stupid amount of power too. the 1st gen xB springs take total about 2 hours the first time around.

Also try out the speed shop off of independence and Wrightsville ave. The nane escapes me currently.

I didn't have that hard of a time putting in my TRD suspension. Took me an afternoon (IIRC) to do in my drive way by myself. I did/do have air tools so that made it pretty easy and the only thing I had to get was a strut compression tool, but I borrowed that from Autozone. If your good with tools you really don't need someone to help. If not then you'd be better off finging a mechanic.

Thanks for the help and looks like I went a different route with it and did not get springs instead got coil-overs so now on the look for a place (inexpensive) or someone to help install them. If any can help shot me a post and willing to pay for the help.
