probably the most important thing is who does it as opposed to how much it'll cost coz as it may end up being cheaper in the long run... aye stinky :mrgreen: ... you want to pull the diff head yourself and just give them that rather than drive the truck in but I'm sure thats what your intending to do anyway, cant remember how much my first set cost to get swapped over but it cost a bit coz we had to upgrade the carrier bearings from 45mm to 50mm bearings and they didnt come cheap. The last pinion (actually second to last coz I havent had the last one replaced yet :x ) I got my guru mate to swap out for me and I think we spent 3-4 hours pulling my busted diff and the doner housing and R&P apart, cleaning everything up and swapping it all over and setting it up. If you want ARB and havent brought one yet I dont think you'll be able to beat rocky roads prices in the states :mrgreen:
