Had a friend get some stuff there couple years ago.  More bolt on stuff and pretty average / closer to MSRP prices.

They have been around a long time. I bought some used rocker guards
from them a long time ago at their shop. When my nephew bought a new
05 Rubicon that Jeep dealership sold their stuff. The dealership was across
from the Killer Creek Harley place. But as far as them installing anything no.

They do a lot of dealership "builds"

When I had a death wobble issue a few years ago (2013) after my first wheeling trip and before any upgrades, I asked if they had any stock front end parts laying around. They gave me one of everything for free (tie rod, drag link, upper/lower CA, shocks, stabilizer). Based on that, I'd say they are nice people.

I'll probably just use then for new tires and brakes.

Discount tire has been unbeatable to me on tires.  The customer service has been excellent.

Weaver Brake and Tire in Marietta is great as well.

I tried calling them for a tie rod and drag link in 2017 and they were asking for around $150-200 from me for those parts if I remember right. I guess they realized there was money to be made in used parts. I ended up just buying new stuff from Jeep.

When I went they had 55 gallon drums of stock take off parts they couldn't sell. Still cant believe theres much of a market for stock links

Not sure but I believe some of you know Marbella (Marie) Spata.  They did her entire build.  Fortec used to be a bolt on shop but I think they've evolved into a full build shop.  Personally I'd use Jeep Tech over them but if they are more convenient, that's your choice.  I can't speak enough the excellent customer experience and craftsmanship from Jeep Tech.

Will Discount Tire handle bead locks?

Never mind. I called them and no, they will not mess with bead locks.
