Need my Williams lowered - in Nashville

Post by James P Mitchell »

Hey guys,

Any recommendations for who to bring my Williams to in Nashville to have it cut down an inch?

You can order shorter legs and rods directly from Williams. That way if you ever want to sell it you'll have the standard ones.

Bill recommended I find someone in Nashville instead of doing that, I'm just looking for options.

Got it. However if you order shorter legs and rods from williams, you'll still have the standard ones if you ever want to sell it.

Just did mine an hour ago ... hardest part is finding the right scrap rod to knock the threaded fitting out.

I sent mine to Bill at Williams and had him shorten them. Did a real quick turn around - a little over a week including shipping. What a difference! Great service too!
