Default Looking For a Good Mech Shop in the DFW Area

I've been reading lots of threads lately trying to decide which route i want to go for installing a slight lift to my GX470. I need a good shop in the DFW area that is knowledgeable and can give me a few opinions/suggestions, as well do the install once i figure out what i want.

Anyone have a shop in the area they'd recommend?

Thanks.

I'd like to get some opinions here too, but didn't want that to be the focus since i still need a good shop in the Dallas area.

For now, i've been thinking about getting the adjustable Bilstein 5100 shocks up front and use the existing springs for them. In the rear, i was going to keep the airbags, but do the regular 5100 Bilstein shocks...and then add a few washers to the ride height brackets to trick the airbags into raising the GX up a little more in the back. Thoughts?
