Rear end shop in LA area? Anyone know the place that specializes in rear ends in the LA area. There was one talked about a few months ago that had great prices and a warranty on their work. If I remember correctly that is all that they work on. Of course other suggestions are welcome. Thanks

I ended up having the rear re-done at 4 Wheel Specialties when my rear end siezed after about 20 minutes of driving.

They have done countless gears swaps for our 12 bolt rearends. They have also rebuilt a bunch of ten bolts for friends of mine. All of them have worked perfect. They even checked out my moser gear spacing and filled up the fluid for me for free. We assemble our own rearends minus gear adjustment so that is not an issue. 4 Wheel specialities were always aholes everytime I went to fill my nitrous bottle there.

While this may be the optimal way of doing this swap a new carrier costs a butt load. Like $400 he stated. He also tried to sell me alot of other crap I didnt need as well.
Would a ring spacer (found one from Mr. gasket) be enough including whatever shims I need, or will I run into problems down the road? Anyone know or got any other shops that I can try?

I pretty much figured as much. I just cant see spending near $800 to switch out some gears. I guess Im going to price some extra thick ring gears. It probably wont be as good as switching out the carrier, but it should be better than using the spacer.

i used hoopers in sun valley
they did stock > eaton posi, rich 373, rp fluid, replace axle, solid spacer
one of the guys was kinda rude
two others guys were nice
they discounted for taking too long
theyre okay with me.
and i met GERS there.
they set up the moser 12 on his 98 SC n2o 427
and he said theyre great.
