Default How much will 5.13's set me back?

I have 4.56 right now. I had the 4.56 installed as a surprise gift when I had 33's. Now I have upgraded to 35's and need to gear to 5.13's. I'm not to sure if they changed the axles when they installed the gears. So if I already have 4.56, what else would I have to get besides the gears and pinions? Sorry Probably a really dumb question but I'm almost clueless about all this stuff.

Complete overhaul kit about $550 for the front and rear total. Labor...depends on where you live. I paid about $1500 for labor on mine, but that included axle seals and some other misc other stuff.

I have seen anywhere from $999 - 2500 for the whole deal.

Had mine done in the STL area for ~$1300 including the gears and ARB diff covers. Didn't need the full overhaul kits tho as my rig only had 450mi on it when it was re-geared.

With use/mileage, the bearings will get worn. But you also have to consider that the installer has to remove them, and replace them, possibly several times. What are the odds that they won't be damaged when removed, or replaced, or removed, or replaced? Go with the overhaul kit...
