I went to Sammys in Hicksville. Specialize in Jeeps. I went with 513's because right now I am running 37's but plan on going to 40"s down the road.
Superior gears installed 1,050.00

Sammy learned a lot and gets advice from time to time from Evan. He actually showed up to one of our meetings recently. Good price though, did that include gears? Did that also include ARB install with the solenoids, compressor, and switches?

That price was just for gears and install. I will see what the cost for the ARB and install is

Evan's price is Evan's price. I'm not going to talk smack about Sammy, he seemed like a real nice guy. But I've heard him questioning some things he has done and needed Evan's experience for help. All this was back in the day, don't know about the present. He gets a lot of business lifting and modding Jeeps for Jeep themselves, good contract through them. He does know his stuff from what I've seen, but I deal and hang out with Evan enough to see his work ethic and how ANAL he is for everything to be perfect. He'll redo his shimming to get a perfect backlash, etc. even if it means taking him longer, and won't charge you over his going rate. Don't know Sammy's ethic.
