Having trouble finding a SHOP in Texas

I am currently doing business and thus moved to just south of Austin Texas and cannot seem to locate a shop that specializes in offroad modifications near here.

I will be shipping or driving my truck down this way at some point and it has 230K miles on it.. which is fine - but the front end could use some work and I cannot work on ANYTHING here. I cant even do an oil change in the driveway here. Might as well go straight to the SAS rather than replacing worn out hardware in the IFS.

So I would have to find a shop that I could trust to be smarter than stupid.

Any Ideas?

*Sorry if this is in the wrong section::I gave it an honest shot to get it in as close to an appropriate section as I could find*

Do you not have the mechanical ability to work on it or do you not have enough room to to it?

I know you are looking for a shop in Texas, but if you want someone with a ton of experience with doing these swaps and at a reasonable price you could have the truck shipped to my shop. I can build the whole thing as a turn key rig, and you could fly in and drive it home. Just throwing it out there.

Wow, I'm glad my HOA isnt like that. I did my SAS in my garage and the ceiling was high enough. I think it is 8' ceiling.
