School of thought is 5.13's especially if you have an Automatic.

Should cost between $1000-$1200 depending on who you take it to.

Not sure about the locker question,...lockers are great, just dont know what they cost.

5.13s are the way to go. Its way more fun to drive, and the 3.8 is so powerless on the freeway that you couldnt maintain speed at any lower gear.

definitely worth it. it becomes fun to drive around town, and takes off way better from the stop lights. Get an avenger supercharger, and that will make a huge difference too. I'm puttin in the order for mine tomorrow!

1100 is what my shop told me for new gears, but then i ended up with dynatrac prorock 60s after i bent my front 44 pretty good. I think the decision on lockers really depends on what you want to do with your rig. They will add to the price a lot, but if you plan on wheeling it much, you will be much much happier with them than without.
