Keep in mind that kit does front and rear axles and includes installation kits. From my experience gears sets usually go for $300 per axle.

Oh alright. Would it be bad if I only buy the rear kit and not the front?

Very bad. I an pretty much guarantee that you would blow something, whether it be a U-Joint, Drive-shaft or more likely the Transfer Case, the first time you throw it into 4wd.

if you do a swap and only do one axle yes youll screw it up..... you have to do both especially since you use 4 wheel drive in that snow....do both save your money dont cheap out and break something.....and remember 4.56's is as high as you can go....
