    Hey homies
    I'm looking for someone to work on my truck in the LA area or nearby-
    Specifically potential body chop, tire advice, UCAs and alignment maybe even re-gearing someday... Just someone who knows their shit and I can trust... Thoughts?
    THX!

    Thank you!!! Everyone mentioned here knows what to do! I mostly specialize strictly in the Suspension side of things since I tend to recommend others for the welding aspect and etc. Rpm off-road garage is where I used to help out at before school started picking up again! Alignments are in point and they are prob your best bet for mechanical work and overall service! @Shmellmopwho was the one who taught me a lot of stuff when I first started! So hit him up since he’s close to the La region also!
