I would try shopping around some more for the install. You are looking at $500 in parts so your labor must be really high.

I'm planning on doing this myself since I think a couple hundred an axle is high.

 

last time I was up there from Juneau I went to Alaska Spring Performance 600 E 48th Ave. they have good hour rates. Well at least they did when I was last up to Anch this past summer. The guys at A.S.P Know about Wheeling and off road not just cars lol. Just letting you know and saying Hello from Juneau

 

I would buy the parts and tools and do the re-gear yourself. You would learn how and have the tools to do it your self in the future. You would be into it way less that way. Paying for labor is hard to chew on for me lol.

4.56s are where its at btw.

 

Thanks Dumajones, I just emailed them so we'll see what they say. I'm definitely going to go 4.56, the labor up here is just ridiculous, I may ask around on base to see if the vehicle maintenance guys might be able to show me how to do the gears correctly. That could be a good way to learn and not blow up any diffs in the process lol

 

that's just so much money to regear stock axles.. I'd wait till you come back over here before doing any work to that jeep at all

 

First: Regearing > More Lift

Second: What size tire do you want to run?
4.5" Lift, 33's, 4.56's = Good Setup
6.5" Lift, 33's, 4.56's = I think is to high
6.5" Lift, 35's, 4.56's = You'll wish you had 4.88's

Third: What Rear Axle do you have?
Don't waste your money on a D35.
Get a 8.25 29 Spline for cheap / Swap a D44 or 8.8

 

I have a Chrysler 8.25 in the back and a Dana 30 in the front

 

regear. i cant stress enough how much this improved driveability. if your already lifted i would just be worrying about regearing

 

x2

I see no reason to blow that big of a chunk of money at this point. Wait till you get back down to the lower 48 to mess with it.
