What did your regear cost

I spent around $700 bucks for the gear sets and master install kits. I also purchased crush sleeve eliminator kits and did the install myself. As @DKJEEP mentioned above, setting up gears isn't rocket science. It does require some knowledge, patience and the right tools to do it correctly. If you don't have the tools, or know someone that does, you'll likely be in the same ball park money wise buying everything you need as you would be paying a shop to do the install. If you only plan to do gears once, it may not be worth purchasing the tools.
There's a lot of benefit to knowing/learning how to work on your own rig. We all know a Jeep is never finished and a lot of us tend to go up in tire size after we tell ourselves we're happy with what we have. Bigger tires require deeper gears... again (I've installed gears on my own rig twice now, 4.56 for 35's and now I'm running 5.13 on 37's). Just something else to think about.
