realistically, how much does it cost to regear?
i know it varies from place to place. but a rough estimate to regear 2 axles on an ifs ranger... price?
just wanna know much of my money they're gonna take lol
im talking price of gears as well because i'm just going to buy from them most likely.

$1200-1500. It can vary a lot. You could save a fair amount by removing the front diff and bringing it in alone as well.
You might as well ask around if they will install gears from somewhere else. Some places will charge more because they don't get a mark up, and won't warranty them. An honest place would just charge straight labor and not care.
If you are on pirate4x4.com, search for waynehartwig. He has a running thread to PM him for the lowest price on gears, differentials, install kits, etc. He was cheaper than everyone else, and I saved over $400 (compared to ringpinion.com) by ordering from him. His website is diffsonly.com but PMing him will get you a better price.
Also some shops will only install new gears with full/master install kits, which is isn't a bad idea. Bare minimum should be a minor install kit and a new pinion bearing.

I ran 4.88s and 33s on my sport trac, same drivetrain (4.0L SOHC 5r55e). It was fine, I loved it in town, off road, towing, etc. On the freeway (70+) it was still okay, but not ideal. I never got over 14mpg but the performance rocked. I would do it again if I lived in the same area that I did before, and still had a short commute. But 4.56 gears would work a lot better with 33s overall.
