I have a D30 front and 8.25 rear. I know I'll need a new carrier up front. What else am I looking at and what prices should I expect? And I'm runnin 33s.

Gear set - $119.00 x2
Master Install Kit - $75.00 x2
Carrier - $55.00 x2 (Some brands offer thick cut gears to avoid replacing the carrier.)
Labor - $varies. Around here it's about $200 per axle.

Call up one of our vendors and they'll make sure you get everything you need and a good price as well.

I have a set of.4.88's for the same combo & the price was over $900.

4.56's will be real close to the same price.

$179 front gear
$75 front carrier
$179 front install kit
$280 rear gear
$179 rear install kit
$40 rear axle bearings

These prices are a real close guess to the actual prices off Randy's Ring & Pinion.

Labor will be about $200 per axle.

Contact either Serious Offroad or RWKHausSupply on this forum for the parts. You'll need front and rear gears, front and rear master install kits and front carrier. There is no ratio break in the rear so you don't need to worry about a new carrier there. (I got all parts for $550 from RWK)

Labor is what you need to shop around for. I got front and rear done for $200 total.

Now's also a good time to upgrade differential covers, throw in a locker, and/or upgrade axle shafts.

What's your budget?

I agree with him. I got EVERYTHING i need for my 4.88's for RWKhaus for 550 to my door, thats everything. I got quoted at 500 labor if i bring just my axles in. But for a drive in drive out deal, 650 labor. not bad.

Nice. Thanks guys. I got quoted from my local shop for $2100 parts and labor! Found a guy in Denver for less than $1000 for all so I will probably head that way. I'm a ballet on a budget so locker and shafts will need to wait

Yes I do but do I wanna use 4.88s with 33s. I also have a low pinion d30. You think anything would be different?

Gears for the LP are different so you don't want that. And the only reason I'd do 4.88s in yours is if you plan to move to 35s in the near future. If not, I'd stick with 4.56s
