Sorry, didnt mean to come off like a dick. I was just pointing out, that I was wasnt losing my mind and he didnt ask about the price of the parts(directly)!

 

Wow... my neigbor just put in 4:56s in his TJ for $300 per axle in labor.

 

How hard is the install?

 

...really, it's not that bad, I mean if I can do it, anyone can...and actually...I would say it's probably a little easier than some installs because there's no need to constantly pull the carrier bearings to chagne shims, the shims are located on the outside of the bearings which in my opinion saves a little time, and no need for carrier set up bearings...the pinion still needs 'em, but I personally think alot of shops are over charging for this

 

How good are you with tools? Are you mechanically inclined?
How strong is your patience and your attention to detail?
Do you have a shop with a work bench or just a driveway?

On a scale of 1-10 if installing a lift kit is 5, IMO this job is a 7-8.

 

Does anyone know of a trustworthy shop in the north Phoenix area that could do the install? I assume that I should stick with a shop that does a fair amount of 4x4 work. Thanks!

 

I got a custom drive shaft and install at Phoenix Rack and Axle. Not exactly north Phoenix, but they did a great job.

Had good luck with Desert Rat for other work done - they did my gears and an s-load of other work.

 

I had mine done at Absolute Offroad. Ask for Joe - the owner. He runs a great 4x4 job and has personally done many gear swaps.

 

I spent $850 out the door for my 5.13's to be installed today in houston

 

Local guy who was highly recommended by several people that have re geared is $200 per axle. He works out of his home garage so he has no overhead. Local shop that was also recommended is $300 per axle. Both quotes were for labor only.
