Default Is $1100 a good price for Gears/install?

Hey everyone, So i was just wondering if $1100 is a good price to get the 4.56 gears installed in the truck? that includes parts and labor.. The shop that quoted me that is the cheapest i can find, and they were highly recommended by two reputable offroad shops.

That sounds pretty good considering. I'd do it for $1100 in a heartbeat. I really need to start charging more.

That's cheap. Hopefully it is including bearings and seals...?

yeah, the guy said that is including everything that is needed. Only charging $250/axle.. So its around $600 for the gears

for changing to 4.56? I have 35's on the truck now. And will be getting a Rancho 4" as well. Driving from Iowa to florida with 35's, 4" lift and 3.73s just doesnt seem like a good idea.. if for nothing else the gas mileage will SUCK
