Yep. When I moved to Houston & didn't have my shop set back up yet, I needed new springs installed & the suspension dialed in. They did a great job.

I saw it there. Dave, the owner, is a good friend and one helluva fabricator. It looks like a very well put together rig. Someone is going to be very happy. I don't suppose you'd be interested in a ccsb f250 with intake, exhaust, a Medusa chip, and 35s and a 98 4runner with some mild mods for trade, huh? Haha!

Hah! Thanks. Yes, my little project didn't challenge him at all. He's done some real nice work for a friend of mine who recommended him.

I *might* be interested in a trade.....if you had a 2015 Mustang GT convertible. :)
