I don't have a good place to recommend, but I'd stay away from Cheney Tire. It seems to me like they cater to the 'bro-truck' crowd and don't know what actually works well off road. They will have your average 6 inch lifts for half ton pick up trucks, and it seems to me like they do very well making money off of anyone who wants a cheap lift.

What exactly is a bro-truck?

As long as they do good work, I'm not too worried about what they sell. I just need a place that does good work. In my experience with the dealerships, they have no clue what they're doing unless they're reading from one of Chryslers manuals.

I'm just looking to have a spacer and new bump stops installed. Not a difficult job by any means, but I once asked the dealership to install Bilstein 5100's on my Ram 1500, and they mentioned cutting off the old shocks and welding on the bilsteins. I immediately left and went elsewhere.

It's a player truck one that is jacked as high as possible and with big rims and tires... One that is so huge that it's no longer functional for offroad or actually anything but driving to Walmart LOL.

Usually driven by someone with Oakley sunglasses and a flat brim hat complete with stickers, no mud flaps, offset wheels that stick into your lane and if it's a diesel it usually has stacks.
