Default North Texas 4x4 shops

Anyone around north Texas (DFW area) have any experience with some 4x4 shops? I went to a place called Performance alley in lewisville and was not happy with the work - I'm looking to re-gear now and want to have experts with quality work do the job. Any help is greatly appreciated.

hey, yeah I'm in the same boat as you. I've used 4wheelparts for my lift and they are ok but I'd really prefer a smaller shop to do some other work. I found on another post a while ago, 4x4 Tribe and Screamin Lizards. look those up, I haven't used them tho.

Look in the Staging section for 'The Lone Star State' I think that's where I read about some local shops

Screamin Lizard did my Hemi install with new gears and did an excellent job.

Did not really look at the bill that close since it was four pages long and added up to the agreed price. The parts and labor was split since it was such a big job. They replace all the bearings with the gears rather than risk using old material that may damage new components.
