I spent 400 more than that for my gears and install. What all bearings does that come with? they check it at 500 and swap to synth oil or what? What type of oil they use? It is dirt cheap for sure!

Just drove 900 miles to Missouri, Jeep did great. I didn't notice much difference in mpg but I had my 37s aired a little. The power difference was noticeable and worth every dollar.
They used Royal Purple in the rear since it is under load and normal oil in the front. The shop guy dropped me off at Whataburger so they'll take care of you if needed. Total install was half a day.

You'd save a helluvva lot of money doing it that way even with the gas you'll use. Searchers and Lightline both are high and use the same guy to do their gears. His name is Kelly and he works out of a bay he rents at a shop right down the same street as lightline is on. You should be able to catch him there during the day and that way you'd go directly to him and get a better price on the install instead of having to pay a shop out price that the others charge. I found this out after the fact. You may wanna check into it, if you brought the gears to him, I bet the price would be pretty good or at least reasonable.

just got mine done @ 249 driveline. 5.13's. it was worth the $90 and 10 hours of driving for $850 out the door installed. I even got 350 miles a tank on this trip. of course you milage will be good if you set cruise on 65 and don't stop once.
