Default New Gears

I just got a quote for $225 an axle, does this sound like a good price. I Live in Indiana. The next question is, I have a 6 speed with 3.21's. I am running 35's should I go 4.88's?

seriously?? is that parts included? if so, that's a steal! most regear jobs cost about $1k or so including parts. 4.88's are a good match for 35's. 5.13's will give you a bit more power but, will run on the high side of rpm's at highway speeds.

Sorry, just labor and fluids. I was planning on buying the gears from Northridge.

Thanks. Maybe I'll make a short trip when it's time to do mine.
