Whats a good price on having ring and pinions installed ?
Whats a good price to have 2 ring and pinions installed ? I was going to do them myself with Griggs helping but I also found a guy that is a good friend of my brothers who owns a 4x4 shop down in Richmond. He said he would do everything for $200 each axle, I supply the gears. Even if i do them myself I still need the bearings pressed on and off which a local shop said they would do for $40 an axle. So even to do them myself will cost me $80.
Is $400 to setup 2 ring and pinions a good price ?

I might even pull the front axle and put it back when he's done. I wrote it down here somewhere but i thought he said if i pull the front axle he would do the front for $150. Then that would only cost me $270 more then what it would cost me to do it myself. because a local shop wants $40 per axle to press the bearings on and off if i do it myself.

its pretty easy to remove the front axle.
pop the left and right upper ball joint on each spindle
remove the driveshaft
pop the CVs out of the diff the right side will come all the way out without unbolting the diff, the left side just get loose
unbolt the diff wiggle it around and have someone else pull out the left CV, once that is done drop the diff out
the CVs can stay in the truck. (but you cant drive it)
