Default recommend a Chicago-area offroad shop

hopefully i'm posting this in the right area ... can anyone recommend a reliable competent offroad shop in the Chicagoland or NW IN area ... i want a few simple mods to my '11 XLT scab (basic exterior lighting, spray-in liner, Bilstein 5100's install 2" leveling , possible fender flares). For some of the mods i plan on probably buying the stuff online myself and just need a shop to install.

thanx Dodgy...Indy is too far (i'd be limited to northwest IN area such as no further east of S.Bend)

Regarding the spray-in liner...just curious, why did you recommend Linex and not anything else ? I haven't even started really researching liners yet though i did call a local Linex dealer yesterday and got a quote of 600 for the premium.

I've heard good things about chi-town 4x4 in carol stream.
But I can't say I've ever been there. I installed all my stuff in my garage.

I've heard good things about them, as well. Also heard good things about Truckworx in St. Charles.

Linex has the reputation dealers all over the states if every need to use the lifetime warranty. Currently own it in my current truck. Linex with xtra. Still looks brand new after 3 years and tons of use.

Yeah, Linex is fantastic. For Linex and a tonneau, check out Tri-County Accessories. They have some great prices.
