Just picked up some new rearend gears and am looking for a good shop in the milwaukee area to install them. Anyone know of a reputable shop that can do this for ~200-$250? Its a ford 5.0 with the 8.8 rear.

That's tricky. Most reputable shops charge $500ish. I know that would be around what Marv at C and M would charge, so if you are going to spend that kind of money go to him, he did mine and did an A+ job. There's a member here by the name of wesybenddyno/forrest that would do them to, but I don't know what he would charge. What kind of gears did you go with?
just take your car to marv at c&m and have him do the gears and the tune.
portpones also I think does them...PM him
The gears are ford racing 3.73's. I think $500 is way steep. On my old 5.0 that I had in high school, I had gears installed for ~$230 and they worked perfect, no whine etc. Unfortunately that shop no longer exists. I was think of trying borchardts on 27th if anyone has any input?
Portponies ( Fritz ) does a great job with tranny's and rear ends. He is located in Port Washington.
PM him on here or go here for his email addy.

No one on here does their own gears?
Buy made in the United States. Otherwise your job might be next. Unless you already wear black shoes and a visor with golden arches on it to work in which case your fellow american has already failed you.
I'm sure many people do, but this guy is looking for someone to do it for him. Not everyone is experienced with gears.

Its not rocket science.... If you understand preload and backlash its a cakewalk.
$500 is assanine for a solid axle gear swap. Mabey for a IFS truck front end... Ive swapped the gears in every vehicle ive owned other then my last half ton and my current 3/4 ton. Solid axle swaps take 1.5hrs to do if you have all the right parts and tools on hand.
i do all my own gears and such(a lot of 8.8's!) and through my shop it would be roughly $400-$450...

Just call Fritz, you'll be more than pleased.
Just called borchardt and was referred to Rob for an "in car" install. Called Rob and was told he would do it for $300.
400-500 is abosolutly ******* nuts for a job that takes no more then 4 hours for any shop to do. I had fast times do mine 6 years ago. Took 3.5 hours and paid about $250
