With an emphasis on being the premier off road showroom and shop, they have built a reputation of providing the finest craftsmanship, service and sales support, never settling for less than the best.

In business for over 5 years, it was the lack of a quality dependable off-road shop in the valley that prompted Ryan Marsalis to open SDHQ Offroad.  It was an initial search to find a competent crew to lift his vehicle properly that lead to the employment of an old saying:” If you can’t find someone to do the job right, do it yourself.”

With 8 employees, including a factory trained sales staff, professional installation technicians, and both an on-site designer and master fabricator, SDHQ Offroad presents the unique ability to complete the project from paper to finished vehicle, almost entirely in-house.  The staff at SDHQOffroad has been responsible for numerous magazine featured trucks, and it’s not uncommon to see “SDHQ” windshield banners all over the valley.

Aside from being the world’s largest distributor and installer of Edge Advanced Suspension Systems by Donahue Racing  (considered to be the finest system available for the Ford Super Duty and Excursion) SDHQ specializes in the  “lifting” of both 2-and 4-wheel drive trucks, for both street and off-road use.
