Get a master install kit also. Why a new cover?

and .....
to make clueless' job easier ( and mine) who's found the best price lately on gears and master install kit and where ? Plus did they have them in stock?

Hows that for jumping into someones post :wink:

I would highly recommend having a good 4x4 shop do the ring and pinion install. Setting up gears correctly takes a good bit of know-how and practice, not to mention very precise measuring. If you're planning on doing several more re-gears down the road it's probably cost-effective to get some expert assistance, buy the necessary tools, and learn how to do it yourself. But, if this is a one-off, save yourself some headache and money and have a good shop do it.

are you putting in lockers as well? or just the gears?

no locker... just the gears. i just want a new dif cover, figured while im getting the gears installed just go ahead and pop on the new cover. Also, whats a good brand to get for the gears and rebuild kit????

opps!

I wasnt paying attention, lucky install for you will be a lot cheaper you could probably get it done for $200, I got my DL installed for $175

where do y'all find these places for so cheap. It calls for 5.7 labor hours to replace the gears and that doesn't even include the whole install kit.

when I was calling around for my DL install they were all saying 6 hours for an install which would be removing the gears and installing them again, so mosy places will charge you for 6 hours, but I got a good deal bc he also did my steering rack, DTT and I just made friends with him so he's a little more willing to haggle with me

try haggling a little they will usually come down
