Hi everybody, got a question for you all. So I’ve been saving up for regearing my liberty to 4.10’s. I’m kinda frustrated with the shop I was going to use. I got a quote in spring last year to see where they were at and they quoted me 1500 to do the job. So I was getting ready to get it done this last fall and they increased the price to 1800. Couldn’t swing it, so I held off. Went in today to get parts ordered, now they are at 2365, calling for 13 hours of labor. And that’s without replacing seals or anything, so to have that done it increases the price another 100 if I remember correctly, they didn’t put that on the quote so I could be remembering the exact price incorrectly.
-Have prices gone up that much?
I wanted to use these guys because they have done a liberty before.
-Does it help a lot to choose a mechanic who has done a liberty before? I just want it done right that’s the main concern.
I don’t have a ton of options in good mechanics, I just feel the price keeps getting ****** around too much, but if that’s a fair price and I’m wrong, I’d like to know.
I was planning on throwing Detroit tru tracks in the front and rear, but at that price I’ll have to hold off till fall at the very least. From what I read I was expecting 1400-1800 for the re gear, is that unrealistic?
Also, they wanted to put synthetic oil in and from what I read is to use Dino oil only for tru tracks, is that correct?
Thanks for the help!

Just to clarify, those prices are just for the re gearing. The price did not include the tru tracks.
