Gear installs will normally run $200-300 bucks.Installing heads will vary.I wouldn't spend more than $400. |

Gears... I'd let someone who knows what they are doing put those in. If you don't get the shims right, you're rear end could end up going in all different directions...
Do the heads yourself.... Its a pushrod... Isn't that bad..

i woudl get them installed by someone myself i did and they did a awesome job no whining. They charged me 150 labor which i gladly paid. I member callign the local driveshaft place that did alot of those installs and they were gonna charge 515 but that was including price of gears and they were gonna rebuild the trac lock and new seals and everything which really was not bad but i had already bought gear but could not go that route. All i gotta say is with 4.10's get ready to replace tires more frequently lol.

Actual cost for installing gears depends on where you go and where you live. In LA you should be able to get it done under $300 People in the NE or Cali seem to have a hard time finding someone under $500. I had it done in Greenville for $250 and when I changed Tloc's again I did it myself.
If you have good mech skills ytou can do the heads yourself or get a friend or to to come help you with it. The heads will cost around 400 and up at most shops.

no, there are special tools, and a lot of experience that goes into gears... you have to actually know what you're doing.

I will agree with Jimmy 100% on this. Yes it can be done, no I would not suggest a person without seasoned mechanic skills try this. You need precision tooling like dial indicators to measure 1/1000 of an inch. Tolerances are close and any mis measurement can cause excessive whine and premature failure. If you can find someone with these skill and let you help this would be a good time to learn.
