Default Looking for ballpark prices on gears,lockers, etc.

Hi my truck is now way under geared and to top it off it feels like my g80 locker is about to take a sh*t. I have 3.73's in my almost stock crew cab 1500hd, with 35" tires on the way. I havent been able to roast my tires since the stock 245's were on 5 years ago. looking at getting 4.56's

Q 1) Is that a good gear selection for 35's?

2) What does the gears & install kits run for the front and back

3) installation cost?

4) What does an Aftermarket locker cost? looking at maybe an LSD locker.


Thanks for you help guys.

korey

the back is cheap, maybe

$500 for a tru-trac
$200 for the gear
$100 for the master install kit
$150 for misc. crap

the front has no available lockers to my knowledge

$200 for the gear
$100 for the Master Install Kit
$100 for misc. crap
$500-$700 for install since you have to take half the truck apart

2 grand sounds about right. One small suggestion, however, go with 4.88 gears while yer down there- you'll be glad you did...........
