Default Looking for a Shop to Regear in NY/NJ Area

Have 3:21s right now in my manual Jk. Running 265/70 17s (32). Looking for a shop to do a regear. Don't really want to go to a dealer, and I get picky about who works on my vehicles.
Any good shops in the Staten Island/ NJ area?

Appreciate it, but Toms River is a hike to get a lift back and forth.
Will keep them in mind.

Try ok 4 wheel drive thy have a website and do work on vehicles also. I'm 60 miles above NYC and it took me 2 hours 40 min to get there just to give you an idea. It's located in jersey. Hope this helps.

Don't waste the money unless you're planning on going to 35's or bigger.

I have a 11' JKU with 4" lift and 35"s running 3.21's and I don't seem to have a problem with it. It's not my dd but I can cruise at 70+ in 6th gear and still get 19hwy.

Yea... I had 3.21's in my 2012 with 35's for a long time, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad. I couldn't imagine regearing with 32's are you gonna go to 3.73's or something? I wouldn't be shelling out $1000 or more if I was staying with that tire size.

If you are going to do it check the east coast section theres plenty of recommendations for shops in the area.

I wouldn't re gear either for basically stock tires. That's just my opinion but to re gear to 3.73's or bigger and loose gas mileage for not much of an increase in tire size seems not worth it. Also I had gotten a price on front and rear re gear installed at a local shop by me and I would of been looking at around 2500$ all said and done. Just a friendly heads up.

Reasons for wanting to regear. Have a lot of hills in area, and to occasionally tow my motorcycle.
When I bought my jeep, Dozer was already discontinued, and it was a bitch finding one with the limited options I wanted. 3:73s were impossible to find.
It's cheaper for me to regear, than to pay for the additional pkgs I would've had to get to get the 3:73
