DFW Shops

Are there any good shops in DFW that can install a lift? TIA

 

Tandem
Tread Depot

 

And the follow-up question… good alignment shop?

DIY 6112/5160 in a week or two and need to figure out where to take it for alignment.

Sorry OP.. figured you might benefit from the answers too.

 

Same answers.

 

Are you just doing shocks or are you changing out your rear leaf springs as well? Where are you buying if you don't mind me asking? I've been looking to see if anybody had any sells going on this time of year.

 

Picked up my 6112/5160 combo from Hotshot (great vendor here) and 3 leaf AAL from Headstrong (another great vendor here). Went with Headstrong since you don’t have to cut the clips on your OEM pack.

Holding out on carrier bearing and axle shims for now. Still researching.

 

Rule of thumb I heard - Install the shocks and AAL, align it, and drive it for a small minute, maybe 100 miles. If the rear end is vibing that's when you put in axle shims. If it's still vibing, carrier drop. Almost no one needs a carrier drop from an AAL. Mine didn't even need the axle shims, it was solid on day 1.

 

Anybody interested in an unopened box of AAL from Headstrong LOL?

I’d probably jump to the full kit and just take the extra 1/2-1” of lift at this point. If not, will stew on it for a few more days.
