Default good shop to do a gear swap in houston?

anyone know of a good shop that can do the gears on a stock 10-bolt for relatively decent price? does G-Force do this kind of stuff?

Any decent shop can do them, do you already have the gears?

x2 They did my Moser 9". I'm sure most reputable shops could do a gear swap if you don't feel like driving out to baytown for pyle bro's, but since thats really what pyle bro's specializes in, they are the ones I would take my stuff to.

There is a bit of an art to setting up rear ends to make them quiet. Taking it to someone who does a ton of them will make a difference, every bit as much as the quality of the steel.

as far as the Pyle Bros go.... do they tune the cluster (?) for the gear ratio change as well? or do i need to look elsewhere for that? and any idea on a price on them?

"See, the gear, it is chiny."
"Chiny?"
"Yeah, see, it's chiny. It's not right."
"Jonathan, what the hell is chiny??"
"You know, it's chiny!"
"Oooooooooooooooooo, you mean SHINY?!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I would definitely go to GForce. I have heard nothing but awesome things about Pyle Bro's, but I got a quote for some work from them and it was way too high in my opinion.
