This is the best I got quoted $1,800 for the following:

Yukon 4.56 gears 4x4
Master kit new rings, bearings etc
TrueTrac LSD <--I have a hook up for one so I'm supplying
yup, but some shop are crazy expensive, i heard one guy got quoted over 2K for gears and install!

well thats good, since you are saving might as well buy the best gears on the market, YUKON!

and if you off road or just want better traction, a locker would help.

4Wheel parts are pricing me some 4.56. They are telling me G2 brand is good. Anyone know or have experience with G2? I know Motive and Yukon are good brands but no idea about G2.
