Front diff swap/regear

[boogielander]

I’m pretty mechanically inclined, I mean, I did everything up front. I’ve never done a diff swap, but it doesn’t seem crazy. Not sure I’d feel comfortable with the rear regear.

I finally found a shop that sounds like they know what theyre doing. They said they can do complete carrier swap and regear to either 4.10s or 3.92. Now it all just comes down to price. If they’re pretty similar, I wouldn’t mind 4.10s, but I won’t lose sleep if 3.92 is a lot cheaper. Afterall, I have 3.21 right now. Lol

anything is an improvement over 3.21

i know i know those are fighting words but I said what I said hahahah

Since you are familiar with shops, and I understand its region specific, but what would your ballpark price of being fair be for swapping front differential and regearing the rear?

Havent figured out logistics of if 4.10 make more sense than 3.92 so Im only looking foe the labor of the swaps and the rear regear.
I have ideas in my head, but wanted to get some thoughts before i get shellshocked. Haha

Ok. I’ve decided on 3.92 and ordered the differential. Chose nitro 3.92 gears for the rear vs yukon, as i read yukon only makes a 3.90 for the 9.25 and they don’t seem to last.
