In my early twenties – which was over twenty years ago – I began following my interest in lifted 4x4s. I remember then hearing about a 4×4 shop with a unique name that built sweet trucks and jeeps – it was called MUMBLY’s and was several towns away from where I grew up. I always had a feeling I would eventually cross paths with this infamous 4×4 shop.

I’m now in my forties and sometimes hire others to turn the wrench so when we began a new truck project – the Motor City’s Ultimate Ram Project (www.UltimateRam.com) and were under the gun with a suspension lift deadline we reached out to MUMBLY’S OFF ROAD.

We had just taken delivery of our new project truck, a 2016 Dodge Ram Outdoorsman CrewCab 4×4 5.7l HEMI. I basically drove it from the dealership in Dearborn, MI to MUMBLY’s in Fraser where I met Mike the owner. MUMBLY’s has been Mike’s shop for nearly 30-years and based on their jammed-packed schedule Mike and his crew have worked on thousands of trucks, jeeps and custom vehicles.

I spent a solid day with Mike, Tim and Steve as they transformed our RAM with a top-of-the-line, Made-in-Michigan BDS 5.5” 4-link suspension lift. After thirty-years of wrenching on 4×4’s it is obvious Mike and crew care and have a plethora of expertise. I was paying attention to the guys and caught several moments where they went the extra mile taking pride in their work and delivering a great service. They know things about suspension, steering, etc. as it pertains to lifted vehicles that only decades of experience in these areas can provide – they have the wisdom to do your truck or jeep right and are worth every penny.

So before you take a shortcut, buy a cheep lift or contemplate hiring the local garage to bolt on your kit – STOP! It will cost you way more money…do it right the first time and call Mike – tell him your plan and have him help guide you down the correct path which will save you aggravation and money.

I highly recommend MUMBLYs.
