Fox Float 3 Revalving - who and what do you suggest?

I have a 2015 HCR 153" and would like to get them revalved and serviced.

Specifically, I am looking to achieve a few new characteristics:

1) I narrowed my front end to a 38 width from a 40" width and need to add spacers to the front shocks to pull the front end back down to ride height.

2) I'm a bit of a stop and go rider and in off camber situations I want more confidence when I have to physically pull the sled over and get on the throttle hard to execute a maneuver. So many times I execute my counter-steer while pointed off camber and screw it up.

3) My sled feels very rigid on the center track shock... as if it's a bucking-bull. This is apparent on Hill climbs when I hit an old trench or a tracked-up portion... it becomes very unpredictable. And unfortunately, in group riding, many times we have to all share a side-hill to get to the next location; and when it's all tracked up I struggle to maintain a smooth side-hill.

Suggestions on where to send them and what to ask for?

I'm 170 pounds ready to ride with all my gear.
 
Toms snowmobile hands down. His valving just works. He uses top notch pistons and valving. Also extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to break it down for you. You will probably not get a hold of him right away but just leave a message and he will call you back within a couple days. I have also used Andy at gas shock Repair as well. he is also very good and a bit cheaper I think than Tom. But for me at this point I would go with Toms snowmobile as I think he has the valving dialed in on this sled.
 
There are lots of good shops out there that can do it for you. I was looking for a better ride and had Tom's snowmobile service do mine and am very pleased with the results!
The main thing is to find a shock guy that will ask you lots of questions about what your trying to accomplish and then offer suggestions on how to achieve those goals.
 
I'm pretty happy with the valve stacks that Carver Performance gave me to put in my Evol X shocks when I re-valved them. Only had to make minor adjustments to my clickers from center to get them where I wanted them.
 
Toms would be my choice right now on a revalve. Really feel the difference and he is good at working with you to get what you want
