Damn gear shop here wanted 2500 for front and rear with front locker.

That's actually not too bad.
This is what I'd expect to pay;
eLocker $700
Locker install $500
Front R&P and bearing kit $400
Rear R&P and bearing kit $350
Rear install $300
Front install $300
$2550
You can most probably save some money by shopping around for the apsrt online and getting them to do the install, but I wouldn't expect to get the labor for all three items much below $1000, although they will already be pulling the front diff for the R&P, so the locker install should be a little less than usual. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
My numbers are off by one thing that I forgot which were the front R&P that Phil sold me. I needed the gears only and I want to say it was around three hundred. I also saved on labor by doing the lift at the same time as the front R&P as I think alot of the gear change labor is the fact they have to breakdown the front of the truck to get to the diff. I think you should be able to get it done without the lift for under 2000 dollars. Some see Hummer and add the surcharge. Try calling and say you need the gears changed on a 2500 series Chevy and go from there. Good luck!
