What have you paid for 32" BFG's?
 
I am pricing tires for when I get new ones. They will be 32x11.5" BFG A/T's. I called one place to check out the price and he said either 165 or 175(can't remember which) mounted & balanced. Is that high? Where do you prefer to buy them from too? I know this has been covered, but...

What have you paid to have new gears installed(not including the gears)? I was told between 320ish-350ish.

Thanks for all the help!

bought my tires at a local place (I have 31's) and for 4 new tires with a discount from a friend with a mark up of like 4 percent because I used a credit card it came out to like $550.

Trigger01 05-05-2007 02:08 PM

:atear: This is gonna break the bank when I get these and put the new gears in.

Redneckstone 05-05-2007 09:50 PM

why you need new gears? what you have now

0RangerEdge2 05-05-2007 09:55 PM

He has 3.55's. What are you going with? 4.10 or 4.56?

Redneckstone 05-05-2007 10:40 PM

4.10 would be smart

Danny818 05-05-2007 11:23 PM

Fx4wannabe01 05-05-2007 11:53 PM

32x11.50r15 BFG M/T's......I paid our cost for 'em....$135each.

Trigger01 05-06-2007 11:32 AM

I am going with 4:10's I have them sitting under my bed right now.

What does it cost to have new gears put in? Any ideas?

RazorsEDGE 05-06-2007 11:46 AM

You'll be lucky to get the gears done for under $400

Trigger01 05-06-2007 12:01 PM

Ford dealership said around 345ish and another place told me 320ish-350ish(around 5 hrs. lador).

RazorsEDGE 05-06-2007 12:23 PM

5 hrs labor is what their little book says it should take..... no guarantees they'll be able to do it that fast. I'd rather find a mechanic that will be honest with you and not quote you based on a time listed in a book. You don't want your mechanic to rush something like installing a gearset. Rushing a job like that could potentially cost you a lot more in the long run.

I would never have a gearset installed at a dealership.....you need to find a privately owned mechanic shop and do a little bit of talking with whoever is installing the gears. If there is a good offroad shop in your area take it them and see what the say. Don't just drop it off in a haste and expect everything to go smoothly. Ask the mechanic some questions about torque specs and such. If the mechanic seems arrogant or annoyed by the questions you ask then find someone else. Make sure the person doing to gearset isnt going in "blind" if you know what I mean. You sure as heck don't want a noob to do your gears.

why not? theyve got the best tools to do it. :shrug:

RazorsEDGE 05-06-2007 01:09 PM

Maybe its just based on the experience I've had with dealerships around here. Around here its a rare occasion to get a competent mechanic. All the right tools don't meant anything when the wrong person is using them.
