Regearing cost
I got a quote from a local shop for. 1200$ per axle to rear gear from stock 3.73 to 4.56 or 4.88. Sounds outrageous to me. Why is it so much?

I paid $2000 for 4.88 yukons with master rebuild kits and installation.Another place quoted me $1600 but they did my friends jeep and his rear went after 1000 miles....

I paid $~1700 total parts and labor for; 5.13 gears, new front carrier, new ball joints, spartan locker in front, master rebuild kits, sleeves, gussets, lower control arm skids. Labor was $700 for all that, he hasn't ever done the plug welded sleeves before so I'm sure he is charging more now that he knows the labor involved.

My local shop charges 1200 (plus the cost of the gears). And I have two buddies that we t with it already. 14k miles pages from 3:21 up to 5 whatever is working great for him. I do t know the other ones new gears.
Shop around and ask him why the price is so high.
