Hmmmm... Quadratec prices for 5.13 gears: $230 front (Dana 30 or 44), $230 rear, Overhaul kit: $220 rear, either $83 (Dana 30) or $200 (Dana 44) front. That $763 in parts alone for the Dana 30, or $880 for the Dana 44s! That doesn't include oil or labor!! Where in the heck did you get your gears for $800??? Is that for the gears, overhaul kit, and installation???
Most places I've seen has been $1100 to $1500. Mine were $1300, and that included the 500 mile "see how well the gears mesh" checkup!
I suppose if you are a really savvy shopper and got the gears cheap,
OR
installed them yourself,
OR
skipped the overhaul kit,
$800 is reasonable.

Now if smbundy13 could clarify - does "install" simply mean labor (i.e. you'll supply the parts) or are you asking what it takes for the whole enchilada?
