    I wanted to see if anyone could suggest a shop around dfw area. I am looking to get my leaf springs replaced and maybe some blistens put on as i added a camper shell and the one leafspring needs replacing anyway. I am not looking for any real lift just a heavy duty suspension to support the added weight of the camper and other items i am keeping back there now. Considering there is a solid 300 lbs plus in weight all the time now. Since I am an apartment dweller with little to no tools just willing to pay and shop for the service.

    Fort Worth Champion Spring off Henderson near downtown. They have treated me and family right over the years.
    You could do this in you parking spot with just a few tools. 19mm wrench and socket are the main things you will need to change the leafs. 14mm and 17mm wrench and or socket for the rear shocks.

    Check the TTORA Garage Section....
    Why not ask some of the local members like TTR, TTORA or TW, to host a WAT and you bring the food and drinks. There are plenty of people up there that have the space and tools and know how to do that simple change... Just saying a way to save some money.

    Leaf swaps are not that big of a deal. Aaron and I did my truck in his garage in a couple of hours with beer stops a couple of years ago.
