I cannot beleive it. How'd you get the sleeve to crush?! I have the Superior 5.13's trying to go in.

My JK has been at the shop since last Thursday, they cannot seem to get it (sleeve) crushed. I mean they are being honest and straight forward, so its just a new learning curve as it's their first JK gear swap.

Jerry, you get that thing crushed!? lol

I have been quoted anything from $450 all the way up to $900, and that's install only, no parts.

It depends. I deff would not go to a dealership for this. They are too cookie cutter and don't know shit most of the time. Look for a good off-road shop or transmission/ differential shop. Probably a little cheaper and better service.
Where are you from, perhaps someone on here can refer you to a shop?
