Quote for gears and lockers on sport s

[Bonanza]

I get some parts wholesale, and i have 4.88s, master install kits, oil, waiting in my garage and waiting for an open lift so I can put them in. Even though we own the shop I decided against a rear locker for now, as the cost is so high-- $1k. That being said 4k isn't bad, but not good. It's fair. The cost of everything is up right now, if that was a year ago, or a year in the future, it might be a few hundred less.

Does the cost include the break-in oil change too?

Put the locker in the front, I’m assuming you have a factory trac lock in the rear?? If not I may have one for ya

You’re not wrong. 5.13 is great with 37’s. 4.88 might be enough, but when is enough, good enough, with Jeeps.

That’s what I was thinking. I know it’s a lot of work. It’s hard spending money when it doesn’t yield and physical results. I know I will be able to feel it though!

Worth it 100%

That’s my take on it, as well. Add up the parts and do a ballpark on ~$100/hr for labor. If an estimate comes in much less than this…unless we’re talking a shade-tree mechanic with limited or no overhead… I’d be wondering what they’ll cut corners on.

That will be my setup - keeping the LSD in the rear, Eaton e-locker goes up front.

Just installed front and rear Eaton e lockers. Used the lasfit switch panel And can’t wait to use em.

I will ask about that thanks!

Is it a full rebuild with bearings etc? Or just the gears? Any warranty?

No rebuild. I only have 10k on my jeep does that matter?

I am I don’t know why I said 4.88 for where I live I’m going 5.13

Based on what I spent for Spicer gears front and rear, this is reasonable including one locker. Can I ask why you’re not installing a front locker as well, since they’ll be open anyway?

Because that was 5200$ lol and for what I will be doing a rear only should suffice. That will save money for everything else I want to do.

No non max tow so I have open diff in rear. Where are you located? I have a buddy that said do a trac loc rear and lockers in front as well.

I think his point being if your only doing one axel and you already have a limited slip rear then you would see a greater gain in traction by installing the locker up front

My forum fingers are too slow this morning lol someone beat me to it
