Someone on here must know of a good shop in FL - you shouldn't have to travel to Daytona to find one - I would hope. Let us know if you locate one. I was thinking of having my U-joints redone by a local outfit here in Tampa - but that is small stuff compared to lengthening the DS.

Pipe is metric sized, so whoever does it might have to order the tubing. So allow them a few extra days. But since your rig is down, I guess a little extra downtime won't bother you. My experience was $125 to lengthen, $75 to shorten at local shops here.
