Default Good offroad shop in AR or Memphis?

I am relocating to eastern Arkansas. I am about to start the mods on my JKU and need to find a good shop to regear it when the lift and tires go on. Do yall know of a good shop in the Little Rock to Memphis area? I am trying to keep from heading to Dallas if it's at all possible. Thanks for the help fellas

i am wondering the same thing, i am in the jonesboro area. pretty sure there is a 4 wheel parts in memphis, but thats gonna cost ya. i did notice lunatic customs, in the dallas area, has an $899 special with gears right now. my parents live there and i visit often so that would actually work for me. lemme know if you find any good alternatives

There is basically two shops in Little Rock. I've used both at different times, and have no complaints for either. It's 4x4 Offroad Outfitters and Mud Connection 4x4.

Mud Connection was recommended to me by a service writer at Landers Jeep where I bought my Jeep. I was talking to him about getting a lift installed and he said Chrysler limited the lift they could install to 2 inches but Mud Connection did work that they couldn't and said they always did good work. I have not used them myself as my jeep is still stock.

Thanks for the info guys. I can verify that Lunatic in Dallas is a good shop. That's who I will use if I am unsure. My BIL has had some great experience with them. $899 is tempting! But, I wouldn't be able to get up to highway speed with the little goodyears that are on it right now. I am in the DFW area often, that's where all my family lives. I'll check out the shops in LR next time I'm over there.

I have a friend that has a shop and he does all custom work.
A gear change is like $600 and you bring the gears and install kits.
He can do lift kits, cages, custom long arm, axle builds, anything you want
and he backs up his work
