Start with the "do-it-yourself" stuff. Get the right springs for your weight and terrain. Replace them and your fluids to see where you are. 80% of it is right there. It's not that hard. The first time may take you awhile, but just take your time. The next time will be a pinch.

Personally, I like the sound of all these guys, the thing I would avoid is big shops with revalve packages (like trail revalve, mx revalve, etc.) You want to take your stuff to a guy who will really pay attention to what YOU want and YOUR style of riding, weight, height, etc. The big shops simply can't customize and give you the attention as one guru in his garage will.

one thing Dewayne will do is polish the shafts, removing the nicks and burrs so they wont tear up your seals again.

Give him a call, tell him Andy and Danny refered you, he'll probably give you a bro deal. I just had him work on some of my stuff and Andy (hoofarted) has some stuff there right now.

Go to a guy who can work with you! Anybody who does suspension and is any good at it will hand polish your components and his tools should include these at a minimun!

Most of the big shops spend MANY hours testing. Little guys simply cannot.

I;ve got Enzo revalved forks (w/ subtanks), and shock, and it is simply awesome.
