i picked up the 8.8rearend with its stock gears for 200. Then i bought 3.73's to get them installed, that was 100 bucks for the gears. Then labor was another 300
so in total 600 with parts/labor

shoot they even added new diff. cover and new bearings too whenever they installed the 3.73's. I luv the shop i take it to, they do awsome work like i didnt even expect them to paint it for me but they did and im happy with the results

Congrats. 3:73's feel much better at takeoff. Holy crap, you had 2:73's in there before. That is a big jump, no wonder why you're so happy......
