Just curious what you guys and gals have paid labor only for your gear installs? I have been quoted anywhere between $600.00-$950.00.

Not sure. I know the guy that owns the gear shop down here so he gave me a hell of a deal. But normally they charge $85/hr for labor. They had my Jeep all day and usually quote 8-9 hours to complete the job. Hope this helps.

I paid $565 total for both axles with the a locker installed also. Most places were wanting much more though. Shop around though!

$1000 with reasonable warranty, but I could have got less, that being said everyone that quoted me less never worked on a JK before
