Like the title says need to get re-geared before travel trailer arrives in 2 months. Thanks in advance. I am in between Tampa and Fort Myers.

Sorry, I don't know of any, but if you get stuck, I have a great shop in Gainesville I would recommend.

I went to D&R automotive here in sarasota. They were resonable price and did a good job. They installed trutracs and gears about a year ago.

Do you mind giving a range of what you paid for the work? Or what you paid for each part. Someone recommended Jeepers Den in Clearwater to me, but I traded my 2 door for a 4 door so put it on hold. Thinking about getting it done soon too.

Do you remember what they charged? I was quoted just over $900 for the rear alone with just gears and labor. I knew it wouldn't be cheap but that seems a little expensive.

D&R did the labor for less for around 800 I think. I had used 3.73s brand new trutracs front and rear with master install kits front and rear installed for less than 2000. I had the work done mostly for the trutracs. The 3.73s were just put in because I had 3.21s and only cost me 50 and not much more labor.
