    Howdy gents,

    For those of you in Albuquerque...

    Just put on some 885s to compensate for a Demello Offroad bumper and lost some rake in the stance. I am looking to AAL or put in a new leaf pack (either Wheeler's or All Pro) to get about 2.5-3" of lift. Has anyone had 4 Wheel Parts off Menaul do work? Good/bad/find someone else to help? Thanks!!!

    As a general rule of thumb, 4 wheel parts stores are full of idiots.

    I have not had work done there, just passing on what I've heard.

    Yea, that's what I've heard about them in general. I just moved here last month and have not found a good offroad shop yet. Also trying to put two 8" Hella's on the bumper too. Thanks!

    4WheelParts installed my OME lift and welded on my sliders for me. I've had the lift for 2 years now with no major issues. Alignment is still fine.

    Don't know about their ability for doing more extensive work.

    I've been looking at getting the pigs regeared but they want ~$400 a pig for labor and three days of downtime which seems absurd.

    I can't speak for the Desert Rat here in town. The one in Tucson was topnotch but that is where they got their start.
