Is this a good price?

So I want to go with 4.10 gears and I got a 500$ price quote for an install with me buying all the parts..... Yes or no?

More on the high side but not too bad

Rear gears are a PITA if not installed properly. If you don't want to end up with chatter, humming and glitching you need someone with all the correct tools to do a proper job of measuring for pinion depth using a shim kit and dial caliper.

I've got 4.10's to install too but have been hesitant to install them until I can find someone I'm confident enough with that they are skilled and have the knowledge and tools to tackle the job.

I actually bought a whole diff housing from another member and was going to have the gears put in that one and keep my stock one in case the 4.10 gear install didn't work out well. That way I wouldn't have the hassle of going through the exercise of putting the stock gears back in and hoping to get all the measurements correct again. Just a few bolts for driveshaft, brake lines and spring perches and swap out the entire diff housing.

That's not a bad idea either....

Any off road shop should be competent enough to do it. They've probably done a ton on lifted trucks to regear for tire size. Just a thought

I'd say that is your best bet unless you want to drive to my shop.

OP wish you were closer. Buddy of mine did mine at his shop in my vic for a couple hundred and it turned out perfect.
