How hard was the install? I have a buddy who knows how to do it but it will be a pain in the *** to schedule a time for us to do it.

 

its a pain definitely not the easiest thing to do...if u haven't ever done any differential work u may want somebody else to do it.

 

Don't know where you got your gears but that's about twice what I've paid for Yukons, which come with a good warranty that I've never had to use.

 

That's for the front & rear superior gear and front & rear G2 installation kit & a front carrier + shipping.

 

The 4.88 Yukon R&P for a C8.25 is about $340. Thats just the gears. You must be running a different rear axle.

 

Yes I'm running a D60 but you can get package deals for a good bit less than 800 bucks.

 

How do you figure? Where? 350 + 143 = 493. Thats yukon 4.88 gears and master install kit for a C8.25. Everything else, to include new carrier for a D30, gear oil, shipping, taxes, etc... adds up to at least 800. Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing just be an *****, I'd love to be proven wrong on this. But then again, I'd be a little mad because I got ripped off! Lol. I bought USA Standard Gear 4.88s and the whole enchilada recently for about 600. I highly doubt anyone is selling Yukons for around that price.

 

When we geared my brother's YJ, and yes I know it has a D35 not a 8.25 so there is about a $100 difference we got a package deal from completeoffroad with Yukons for $450. It came with both sets of gears, 4.56s, and full install kits. Been a year of so but I doubt they've gone up 2-300 bucks. Also check out Dave's Offroad Supply, he's got the cheapest prices on Yukons I've found. With Yukon they have a tier system, more you sell the cheaper you can get them. When I got my last set of chromos they were over $100 cheaper than any other place I found.

 

ok breaking it down for ya...front D30 gears $164.95 + master installtion kit $92.80 rear C 8.25 gears $329.95 + master installtion kit $151.66 = $739.36 thats before tax and shipping + i had to buy a dana 30 carrier for $75 and i installed a Aussie locker up front $250 so total iv got over $1100 in mine and my rear is still open...For Now!!!

 

Guess you missed where I said "package deal". Lots of places do it and you'll save a good bit over piecing all the seperate parts together.

 

Rwkhaus in the vendor section has package deals on gears for cheap. That's where I got mine.
