Needed: drive line shop in Houston for 4.56 final drive install - good experiences?

I need a recommendation for a drive line shop in the Houston area that can handle install of a 4.56 final drive, and has the experience / shims needed to set pinion depth, bearing preload, and backlash correctly.

Does anyone have any recommendations based on good experiences? My original diff is sitting with a shop out of state for going on 3 months, and I'm getting what I think is the run around. They loaned me a replacement, but I know what miles, oil, and change interval mine had, so I'm thinking of demanding it and the parts back and finding a shop locally to do the install.

Not many Houston people post in here. Try asking in H86C on facebook.
