There aren't a lot of places in CT that do this type of work. I know Clayton Off-road is somewhere in CT (waterbury as mentioned above!).

Installing a locker is a pretty big job...any plans on regearing when you have it done?
Yes, close to Norwalk. Probably going to have it done next year. I've read the forum and a lot of opinions on the brand - I'm thinking if I find a competent installer I will work with them on their recommendation. Re-gearing - that's a maybe depending on budget. Planning on adding a lift kit and 35s first and seeing how well it pulls. Then doing lockers and maybe regearing afterwards. I'm comfortable doing the lift job myself, but regearing and lockers is definitely beyond my competence level and tool kit!

Just be prepared to be in awe when you see a Jk on 40's with 6" of lift. Not too many of those around new england!

Feel free to PM me if you want more details.
Much appreciated - Took a look at their site - bigger lift than I was thinking of but looks like they are REALLY solid. Will work that into the budget calcs and be in touch. Thx

X2 on Clayton.
Adam and Clayton are great guys to deal with.
Their stuff is solid, almost overbuilt compared to others.
AND they are local.
Give em a call with any questions, both are willing to spend as much time as needed to answer your questions.

Check out SVE Performance in East Haven, CT. They used to be in Milford, but moved probably 4 or 5 years ago. Bill is a great guy and very experienced!
