Default Installing 7.5 rear end and gears. What does it cost?

Can anyone give me a price on installing a 7.5 LSD and gears?

$300-$350 is about average for labor.

Would it be about the same for installing just the LSD or Gears individually?

It seems US is way cheaper than hear because so far I got $900 and $1200 installed including 3.73 and Tlock. Does anyone know a shop in Seattle, I'm an hour away from it so probabely I can drive there

Most places run between $300-$400. Dealerships may be a bit more. It is basically the same price to do just gears or just tlok, the majority of the price is taking everything apart and putting back together.

a lot of guys argue that just getting an 8.8 take off with those gears and t loc already installed is more efficient as far as money goes. you pretty much get everything you would out of beefin your 7.5 but you have a stronger axle for around 300$ more and install is cheaper. once again, thats a heck of an insurance poilcy if youre planning on making more hp/tq

Randy's ring and pinion is here in Everett WA, even closer to you than seattle. They are world known for their rear end work. They quoted me $400 once a few months ago.
