Default My rear end needs help.

Can somebody tell me a GOOD shop in Kentucky to install my new ring gear and pinion, or should I just change the complete stump.

Change the complete pumpkin. There are very few shops that setup C5 ring and pinions correctly. Do yourself a favour and buy a new one from DTE.
