Installing new rear gears?
How much labor is involved in changing over the rear end ratio?
What parts are needed?
What is average cost of having someone install?
thanks

for just a ring+pinion change, install kit around 40 , gears 150ish ,150-200 labor . add what ever fluid you want to use and dont forget the limited slip fluid .

150 is very low, 200 is a good deal and it goes up from there.

Unless you really know what you're doing (not with general mechanics but with rear ends) don't do it. It's not just a bolt in, bolt out thing, there's adjustments and special tools you need to do it right.
