Hey runvs, im in Greenville as well. Small world. What part are you in.

Hey kay9 what is the other forum you speak of ?

 

Unless he's including the master install kit that's no deal. I can get them at my local 4x4 shop for $200 for the rears and $225 for the fronts...

 

^ holy $hit, do they ship? Do they include the MIK's

 

I don't think he's set up for shipping, he's a small 4x4 lift shop. Gives a deal of $600 per axle for gears, install kit, labor and a return visit in 500 miles to inspect and change fluid to anybody I send there.

However I know he was buying his gears from both 4 Wheel Parts and Moe's Performance. Moe's is having issues shipping things right now, but their advertised price for Genuines is $209 for either the rears or the fronts.

You should EASILY be able to find gears from either Genuine, Precision, Motive or Yukon for around $200 a set. I know Air Ram had Motives for $199 a set for either the front or the rears and that includes FREE shipping!!!

 

Yeah 456 gears all the way man.....they do great around town and Actually good on highway, but if u want top end speed stay stock, they don't pull as hard at high rpm but low or towing they r great....ill never change em outta my truck....

I'm located in greenville sc off woodruff road man pm me sometime

 

I got a guy Charlie ay my local 4x4 shop who hasbuilt my rear end a few times and he does a sick install and warranty with gears pm me if u r local to me and want to go to his shop

 

Yeah i have someone less than a mile who does it for $700 per....buti was just looking to find the best deal as its gonna cost. How much do the master kits run? seems like $600 is the magic # for the gears.

Also as far as top end when you say im going to lose, like can you give an example. Am i not going to be able to go over 80, or just no power after a certain point.

 

It's not top end performance you'll lose, but a few rpms up at the top. Because the 4.56 gears will have the engine turning more RPMs at a given speed, then your max rpms at the extreme top of the scale will be reached sooner, but we are only talking 300-400 rpms here. You'll reach the speed limiter WAY before that's any issue.

So basically if you redlined at say 6400 rpm with 3.55s, in theory you'll top out around the same rpms, but will not be traveling at the same rate of speed. NOT a factor IMO...

 

Oh ok gotcha, thanks makes more sense now.

 

MIK(s) included. I will see if i can get the person to sign up here.
