Default Shop in DFW that will do shock/spring drop on TBSS?

Bought to have to DD my TBSS.. Its lowered on factory airbags using sensor mod and my *** will not take the pounding of driving this thing everyday.. I have dealt with it due to how sweet it looks because I dont DD it. Probably gonna do Belltech shocks springs.. Any recommendations off shops around that wont screw me for a 3-4 hr job.... Thanks

Do it yourself.

Rent (for free) the spring depressors and grab a coupl of crescent wrenches and a can of WD-40 and go to town on it. No big deal, just nuts and bolts.

TexasGlock23 is right, beer, pizza and a couple of friends and your golden!

Exactly, I have lowered my truck a total of 4 times now, and assisted with others, no expert here, but none needed for a simple drop. Unfortunately I am busty until after Thanksgiving with my anniversary and the holidays!

But I am sure between here and CustomGM.com, we can get enough people interested to have it taken care of in just a few hours, then spend the rest of the day bbq'ing and bullshittin

After the holidays is perfect.. I dont mind paying.. I could do it myself just domnt have the space at the moment.. Are you familiar with doing shock and springs on TBSS? Im going to give NORCAL a PM and order the parts just not 100% sure what I need. It looks awesome right now. Rides like **** though...

No, I am not, but I can't imagine it being a pain! He's a vendor on our forum also, best bet is to contact him and go through him.

It's really not that hard of a job man, you should do it yourself. Find a good write up and take your time.

I feel your pain though, I left my TBSS stock because I didn't want that POS ride.

Joe, I recall Daniel being pretty attentive to you and getting your rig rebuilt pretty quickly when you blew it up some years back...

I know Daniel. I know Manuel pretty well aswell. Ive sent Daniel plenty of business. Daniel knows what he is doing.. But the guy is very hard to get ahold of and is never around when you need him.. Atleast thats how it was couple years back... Maybe things have changed. I have heard good things about the SNL shop on northside may give them a shout..

I just ordered the springs + shocks from there to yank the air bag system (it's leaking) on my TBSS. It looks like a very forward install. I would try it yourself.

Mine's not leaking enough to keep the compressor running constantly or lower the rear while driving. It has ~70k on it so I needed to replace the shocks soon anyways. Never been a fan of airbag systems and it's one less thing to break.
