    Hey guys, I need recommendations for a good muffler install shop preferably towards the west side of town as well as a good tint shop. Want to bring my front's closer to my rears. I know Tx law is like 25% front and back right? I need to research and find out what stock rear tint on a 2009 dc is.

    Anyway any advice on local shops would be much appreciated.

    No because your shocks would be the limiting factor in how much droop you will get. Unless you want to install new shock hoops or cut into the bed you will be using a OEM replacement shock which are about 10" of travel and 26-27" extended to 16-17" collapsed. With that being said so if you are planning on jumping your truck you better make sure you strap all 4 corners to prevent overextending the shocks and breaking something. I'm no pro on the subject this is just what I have learned so far.

    I've visited the brewery and taken the tour. The tours are free once you get in the door and happen once an hour, or something like that. You get three tokens when you pay the door fee, which are good for three beers, but in a sampler glass. If you bring your own St. Arnolds glass you get three full pints. You can also buy pint glasses there.

    Take a look, it makes for a good afternoon.
