    I've heard good things about Specialty 4WD and Commonwealth 4x4.

    I've heard bad things about rocky mountain outfitters in Lex.

    No experience with either shop myself.

    For a suspension swap, I would personally recommend finding who is lurking around your local thread. Buy somebody a beer, learn something new, make new friends, turn a wrench, feel like a badass.

    That will be cheaper than paying a shop $500 to slap bolts, anyhow.

    Jus' sayin.

    I’m able to do the swap just weighing my different options depending what route I want to go. It’s nice to have someone who knows exactly what will be needed outside of just the lift as far as uca’s, Lca’s, alignments and be able to do it in house.
