I went with Rear End Specialities in Santa Clara. I believe I paid $1200-1300 for my 5.13's installed. They can do the work in a day, plus there is an Enterprise nearby that will pick you up after you drop your jeep off, and drop you back off at the shop after you return the car.

They did a good job on my gear install, but I was annoyed with them because (i) they over-filled my rear diff, and (ii) the guy that booked my appointment forgot to tell someone to order the gears, so I had to wait 3 days instead of one.

I also recommend Barry at the Rear End Shop in Livermore. He does great work owns his own jeeps and i know from experience if you have any problems down the he will take care off you. you might save 100$ somewhere else, but you also might get some kid doing his first gear install on your rig. choose wisely...

Did you have seals and bearing replaced at same time?

JKZinger

No, but I did have him replace axle seals in the front a while later. My ARB was in the back and he also installed the new 35 spline axles at that time. Also did a pinion bearing in my 2001 Grand Cherokee. All excellent work done right the first time!

Not yet. I haven't been home long enough. Hopefully sometime in March after my current project quiets down.

FYI, Shaffers Offroad (Alameda) is having a deal right now on front and rear Yukon regearing for $799.

Thanks! I'm home this week. I'll have to call them tomorrow.

Yep, i made my appointment for the 3rd at Shaffers. I went down to talk to him. He knows his stuff. He is also changing one of my leaky axle seals. Sent from my iPhone using JK-Forum

Spoke to Mike from Shaffer's this morning. He does the work himself and backs it up with a 1 year warranty, so there's no $15/hr kid doing it.

I'm dropping mine off on Sunday and picking it up on Feb 7th.

Note to the guys that are not running the Rubicons w/ 4.10's, you will need a new carrier ~$90. Since I have to change the carrier anyway, I'm opting to go with a Yukon Grizzly locker in the rear (2yr warranty on the locker + liability for damage a failure might cause to other components).

Second that. Barry is great, and takes the time to do it right.
