Good rear-end shop in DFW?

I'm ready re-gear my truck. Anybody know of a good shop in the DFW area? I thought of going to this shop in Kennedale but they said they can't find any gears for me (Stupid....)

Thanks

Tony

Screw that. Those guys are just rude and over-priced. I'll let you know when I find a place. I'm going looking this weekend.

I called around to quite a few shops, and the basis census was anywhere from 800-1200 but most were 1000ish.

4wp wanted 750.. wtf?

what if you bring in the front/rear diffs to them? Wouldn't that make it a lot cheaper?

Probably not enough to make it worthwhile. It's simple enough for them to throw it on a lift and start wrenchin. I gave up on my search until the summer.
