Regearing is around 1000 parts and labor

Evo sleeves and gussets 1000 parts and labor

Rusty lift is 550 parts only

Procal 150

My calculations comes to the conclusion that you are being charged 1200 to install a very basic lift.

Go somewhere else.

1000 for sleeves and gussets install is on the high side I think. Ask them for a break down. And where are you located

I just had the teraflex sleeve and gusset kit installed by 4wp. 123.00$ for parts 370$labor. That's just under 500$. Not sure how much your s&g kit is but that's double what I paid.

Also make sure they are not charging you to install the procal. It literally takes less than a minute to program. Good luck

1000 for gears parts and labor.

About 400.00 parts and labor for sleeve and gusset. They already do gears so axles have already been pulled

Lift kit 400-500 parts

180.00 for pro cal

Lift kit install 400-500 on high side

So 2400.00. Tires, pending on what kind, what size and 4 or 5

Umm....$1000 for gear parts and install is hardly findable in trhe Northeast. More like $1000 for install only ($500 per axle). Unless you live near NR in Washington or similar place, expect a gear change to be $1500+ if you live anywhere in the northeast. So that deal is a steal!!!! does that price inlcude a master overhaul kit as well?


A basic lift is probably book time of 4 or 5 hours so at $100 an hour, that's not bad. But they will probably pump it out in 2 hours but still charge for the full book time. Procal is $150 new everywhere. Buy your own. Sleeve and gusset and install isn;t bad at all. Careful welding is needed so they need to take time.

Here is what I have paid. I am in Colorado where the demand for install is pretty high, so for things like gears, the absolute cheapest I found at a reputable shop was around ~$1,600. Just want to set the table a bit...

Prices include labor. My shop charges $75/hour

G2 4:88 with g2 HD diff covers = $1,850
Teraflex sleeves, gussets, knuckles = $525

I had my lift and other things done a while ago and cant remember cost, but based on my charges, $2400 for the most serious of tasks. The lift for a shop with years of experience should be about 4-5 hours of labor at most, so I wouldn't pay more than $500 labor + cost of the lift for that part...

I think it's too much, but I'm not sure what your lift runs.

Rustys? Never heard of it???
