Re-gear
I would like to re-gear to 4.88's. I am thinking of going with G2. I am undecided if I want to do lockers or not. Im not that into going to Elias based on my first and last experience with him. Any suggestions on a shop in Worcester county or anyone interested in helping me out? I am certainly not capable of doing these my self. I spend a lot of time in Worcester and have drove passed Steves Auto repair and 4x4 on Shrewsberry st. I considered giving them a call but was wondering if anyone had experience with them before I did. If someone in the club has experiance and wants to make some money, I am willing to pay to have you do the work.

Re: Re-gear
I have had very bad experiences with Mitchells Drive shaft in Shrewsbury. I would stay away from them.

Re: Re-gear
CT Axle has a booth at the Rally this year too if you want to chat with him in person.

Re: Re-gear
Steve does good work been doing it forever.
Ricky Barrette is a little farther south but will stand by his work.
Check out Revolution gears for parts. Good guy years of knowledge in industry. I'll second it's hit or miss at Mitchell's but I do know some people that rave about them.
If you plan on lockers in future your crazy to do gears now. With that rear screwed up it could lock up and then you need start over anyways

Re: Re-gear
Thank you all for the advice. I will do a little more homework and reach out to a few of these for costs.
