Default Who installs gears in the CT, MA, NY area besides EVB in Danbury?

Bought 5.13s, install/overhaul kit and a locker from Dave at Northridge 4x4, and was then informed by EVB that they're not currently doing gears because of "staffing" issues. Anyone know trustworthy installers in the area?

There is wzorek automotive in Westfield, MA not too far from the CT border. They specialize in gear installs, axle swaps, and pretty much anything related. They are one of the best in all of New England and have been in business over 30 yrs. I plan on going to them when I finally do gears. They are also very reasonably priced. I was quoted $300 per housing if I supply the parts. One thing to keep in mind is that they are cash or check only - no cards.

Another reputable shop is endangered species jeep in Holyoke, MA. They are a great all around jeep and 4 wheel drive shop, however would be more expensive than wzorek for a gear install.
