Default $50 bucks for C gusset install!

Just had my upper C gussets welded on. I got the purejeep gussets and had them installed by JB Motorsports in PA. Brian did an awesome job with the welding and even threw some paint on em so they wouldn't rust. Took him about 45min and didn't have me wait at all to get it in.
I'll be going there for my gears/lockers, instead of the other shop that I've had some issues with. I just need to think if I want 4.56s or 4.88. I got 35s but kinda wish I went to 37s and I have a 2012 4door 6spd, so any input would be good. But anyway, ill post up some pics as soon as I get a chance.

Did they remove the ball joints before welding, or did they just make sure to keep things cool? For $50, I assume they didn't take anything apart.

JB Motorsports is in stowe/pottstown pa. They used wet rags to keep the axle cool and did not remove the ball joints. He knew what he was doing and told me they have a really good welder. I believe em too cause the freaking welds are awesome to the welds ive seen in the past. I will post pics tomorrow afternoon sorry!

I'm getting my upper and lower done May 3rd $99 for the EVO kit and $100 labour said 2hrs at $50/hr can't wait.

For the OP with your set up and possibly one day going 37's I'd do the 4.88 gears.
