Which body lift is it. Who am I kidding anyway, it's still overpriced. You should find someone who will do your gears for $1400 or under, I've seen it around $1k in Las Vegas I believe.

I'd say $1700 would be a good price.

Yeah you should shop around more. Im not sure what a set of good 4.56 gears will run you, but I know a great mechanic that will do them for me for $400 front and rear. Thats $250 for the front, and $150 for the rear. So Im guess that I could get away with $900 total.

You can just have them do benchwork, which you will have to pull the diffs out and bring them to them (not a big deal, pretty easy). That will save you money.
