Default artec industries

I recently got the artec industries front axle armor kit as well as a rear truss and I'm looking for a shop to do the install. I am currently living in Yuma, Az so the Phoenix area would be where I'd be looking to take it. Any recommendations?

You could buy a welder for the price of the install and have it for future projects. Just a suggestion.

buying a welder and having the skill to use it are not the same thing. Especially if you are talking a truss when even experienced shops end up with a bent axle after

If an experienced shops end up with bent axles, I would hardly call them experienced, well they may be experienced, but experience doesn't always mean good experience.
I believe you and many others over react when it comes to these things. Just like gearing. None of it is really that hard. After using about 5 lbs of wire practicing and learning from either a friend or YouTube videos, most anyone can do it. But opinions are opinions and some enjoy playing the safe game their whole life. Others see something like this as an opportunity to learn a new skill and broaden one's abilities.

I may buy one to practice for future projects but since I'm not at all familiar with it I'd prefer to have someone more knowledgeable do the install.
