Seem like u just got rob, can I rob u? I got my superior gear install not too long ago, it a 4:88 for front and back, the gear u can get it your self online, sometime it come with a packge for the gear and new fitting for about $300-350, the gear and pinion cost for $189- 206
The labor install should charge u about $376, depend what shop u go too they may
overcharge u. I had an arb air locker install and new differential cover- rancho, and a skid plate,4 bird in one stone, and the price came to $406, what out for shady mechanic which they f-up my seal for the axle and had to replace it end up for another $120 dollar, taking the same part out... the mechanic should know that to heat your gear to fit it, or he just trying to get u a different that may be more expensive. all new gear and ratio it about the same price, should got one higher than a 4:56..

I did Superior 5.13's a year and a half ago and they have been great. My install went super smooth. Glad your guy got it all squared way.
I would like to know, however, what gears your mechanic would have used that would have been different from what you used. As WOL pointed out, just about every gear for the JK is made overseas. If he decided to go with Yukon...overseas....G2...overseas... I think there is one compnay making them here in the U.S. but not sure what ratios they come in. Frankly, I don't know anyone running aftermarket gears that don't fall into one of the 3 mentioned.
