Need a good shop in PHX for the Gen 1

[AZ Surfer]

Hey All,

Im new to FRF. Have kind of followed it for a couple of years while in the market for my first Gen1. Anyhow I have a level 2 build on the truck.... King 3.0s, newer aftermarket upper arms, bumpers, rear hydraulic bumps, etc. I’m looking for a good shop in the Phoenix area to take it to that is off road related. Been to a lot of shops over the years here and enjoy the mom and pops better the flashy/ big box. I’ve been affiliated with off road racing on and off for years, but have lost many connections because of my recent career taking me elsewhere in the country over the last 10 years. Now that I have time I’m needing to get the shocks all rebuilt, replace the giant N-Fab bumpers with a tighter SVC and RPG bumpers, dove tail the rear fenders, go up to 37” bfgs also. It Will need a new rack as this one is leaking. Heims and suspension bushings replaced on all of the suspension components. Also have some other noises I needed taking care of. It was used mildly off road and has 82k on it. I’ve seen Kyle Green online...does he have a pretty good shop and rates? I would totally appreciate the referrals from you all.

thanks,
Sean

I second this ^^ They used to make all of their own bumpers, but that was years ago. Give them a shout

take it to my friends shop in mesa. lex motorsports. jason is an awesome guy. i took my truck to him when i had a small incident with a rocky..... (rocky mtns. dont ask.....) had my truck fixed up and he built me new bumpers to my specs. he is fair, honest, and will do whatever it takes to make you happy. he knows his shit when it comes to mods

Another +1 for SDHQ. If you can ship the shocks, I’d recommend Keen ShockWorks out in San Diego. He did my Kings for a very fair price and answered plenty of questions while I was installing them.

Awesome guys! Appreciate all of the input on the shops. I have been into SDHQ. Candy store for off road junkies! They do great work and have awesome products, but their mechanic and fabrictor pricing is a little high.

Sean, I had a most unsatisfactory experience with SDHQ and I won't go back. I wasn't happy with their after sale service. The shock rebuild they did was fine.

On Point Performance in Glendale. I drive from Scottsdale to see Joe Daro because he's the man. As honest as they get and his prices are very reasonable, in my opinion.

He's done a lot of work on the truck's Stage 3 Motorsports showcases.

I also recommend SDHQ. They have done a complete brake upgrade and the cam alignment kit and, thus far, everything is perfect. They also check everything after 500 miles to make sure that everything is fine.
