The only labor I added in my description was for gear install so figure about $600 off the quote I had earlier. But add some more back in for "bulletproof". If you have an automatic add another $5k for a supercharger or $15k-$35 for a ls swap so you can actually turn the wheels.

the Reason For This Build Is Because A Guy At Work Had 40 Inch Tires And I Couldn'tBelieveHow Good It Looked I Talked To Him And He Just Beefed Up His Axles And Ran 5.13..... HE Said There Was Never A Problem In The Axles But I Am Going Bigger Axles Now... Asked How Can You Move Those Tires With The Little Motor....He Said It Wasn't To BaD....Probably gGoing 5.38 Gears thanks For All The help

When it comes to this question I'm a broken record...I did a ton of research and I went with Dynatrac pro rock d44 up front and the pro rock d60 in the rear, synergy ball joints, RCV axles, 5.13 gearing and ARB lockers.
but I am only running 37's...
if your serious about 40's then go with a d60 up front.

not at all. Im about to go to a rubicon express 5.5 heavy duty 4 link long arm kit. Im only running 37. When u get in those rocks i would rather lift a wheel then rub. But im also going 6inch so when i can afford prorock60s i will not have to change my lift to run the 40
