What is a good price to swap gears?

I believe you are correct. As far as I know the 4:10s and 4:56s are the only gears that work with the stock carrier. At our shop we would charge $500 plus supplies (such as fluid, seals, cleaner and sealer) and tax if you supplied the gears.
4.88's don't fit?
They make aftermarket ring and pinion that will work with either carrier I belive.
I have been known to be wrong once or twice before, so there's a chance I am in this case too.
Are you happy with the 4.88's?
I put 4.88's in my red truck in 07' and paid 700 and some change for EVERYTHING if that helps you any.:dontknow:
I liked them because 6th gear was actually ''useable''
Yeah but 1-4 aren't....
Why they most certainly are!!
Unless your truck is HIGHLY modified the 4.88's are good IMHO Then again I never give a F less about going to the drag strip so that's why I liked them
Why they most certainly are!!
At the track or on the street either way that 4.88's are going to slow you down
I am. I drive mostly city streets so I can easily cruise in 5th as low as 40 mph.
Yep. I can go into 6th at 50 mph and actually accelorate on the highway without dropping a gear.I liked them because 6th gear was actually ''useable''
I've got the BFG Kdw's, first gear I have to feather, 2nd I go WOT and compensate just slightly due to IMO very well adjusted cal tracs(good job me!), 3rd and 4th are hooked and gone!
With my engine built, I got Torrie to bump my rev limiter to 6300. So when I eventually go back to the track I will be able to stay in 4th.Why they most certainly are!!
Also for my gear swap, I paid 650 for labor and new fluids. I provided the new cryo'd spider gears, clutch packs, ring/pinion and carrier.
