I am looking for a shop somewhere around East Tennessee to do a bodydrop on my 06 frontier. The truck is just static dropped right now. I have a guy that I plan to get to do my bags so all I will need done is just the bodydrop. Any suggestions, comments, ect? I dont want to door it or anything I just want the rockers to lay. Any help finding a good reputable shop would be greatly appreciated. Below is a pic of it now.
I have posted this on several forums in order to get a wide variety of shops to call. Little shop of horrors seems to be everyones choice. I will have to give them a call on monday. If anyone has any other shops let me know.
Hey Lowmaz....I would also take it to the little shop if I was out there. Do you plan on a stock floor? The stock frame is 7" so we took it out of there and welded 2x3 1/4" to the inside of the frame. We went to the pinch because of the way the fenders and the bed hang lower then the rocker. Also make sure you have the right off set on the wheels. With my 20s with 225/35/20 would rub at the top of the bedsides by the top of that "steel flare". I have 6.5" BS on 8.5" wheels. I dont want anyone to run into the problems I did.

I would have the same place bag it and body drop it. The finished product might turn out nicer if the same person does it because they are able to plan a little better.
if youve got a guy to bag it, he should be able to body drop it as well. little shop sees to do sime cool work,.
you should make it into a single cab.
east tn 2 best shops that i know of are little shop and insane.

thanxs man. I LOVE your truck. It has been my inspiration. When I seen yours I knew I wanted to start on mine. I have thought about stockflooring it. But I am getting estimates on both stockfloor and standard. My wheels are 20X9 with a +20 offset. I will prob need to shorten the rearend a little. Thnxs for all the help. I plan to start callin shops on monday to get estimates. I wanna get this thing scheuled for January.
