i went through this about 6 months ago trying to find someone in hampton roads to do the install. i talked to shad at accuracy and he told me that he could do it but he really didn't want to. he said it would be expensive, around $550-650 plus parts and it was a pain to get the clearance right. i ended up having rick's install them in a core diff then i swapped the diffs myself and shipped mine back to them. plus rick's does a lot of these gear installs and shad didn't seem real confident about it.

however i would go to accuracy for anything else. those guys are great.

Angelo, you could get the 4.77s on the GB from MotorKlasses, Aaron (E3opian) has the 4.44s from the same vendor. I would look into install up here at Inline in springfield, it would save you quite a few hours drive.

The cost at inlinePRO was on the underside of $400 ($75/hour) by taking them my pumpkin and allowing them to do the gear install. This saved a couple hours of labor by them not having to drop it out of the car if you have some tools and jackstands it isn't too hard.

If I had one thing to do over again, I would reconsider the MotorKlasse (4.44) gear.

I'm waiting on the gears, lsd and housing to come in and then I will be having a friend at the shop I work at install everything. I'll let you know how it goes and if I'm happy, maybe he would be willing to do yours as well.
