Yes, they said 4 hrs on the front, 5hrs on the back and $500 for gears and install kit $1500.00 total. They are primarily a manufacturer of lifts and what not but do a few installs a month. He told me they were backed up till mid November but I'd wait to have it done correctly!

I presume Clayton? I had them do mine back in the end of august. I bought everything I needed and they installed it all for 991 and change (basically 100 an hour+fluid+stupid broken plastic ESP cable clip). They did a great job and are great guys. You can't beat the price, especially since I believe they will cover any problems you have during break in within reason. Not that you will have any, mine was flawless.

Might want to call Dr. Wheels down here on the Cape. Don't know how much they charge but they are a Jeep only off road shop.
