just a side note. I found lots of 4.10 gears new take offs on ebay. I spent $90 plus a little shipping for a front and rear set. So, you can regear a lot cheaper than $1500.00

Most of that cost is the installation. I wouldn't feel comfortable replacing the gears...

Yea you are right I believe that gears are around $700 or so but that install will get you.

A cheap price to pay for that 1 extra inch of travel before my tires hit bottom. You can fix the gap that the 1inch makes on the back bumper but I can't fix it before this weekend.

To me, doing the BB and body lift was the cheapest for the amount of lift. No adj trackbars, no drive line mods whatsoever. The RE kit gives you 2 1/2 in front and and almost 2 in the back. Course I still have stock bumpers and new heavier ones are gonna change that. For now it's ok ,I'm saving for a longarm kit
