I just got 4.56. The shop put OEM in the back and Precision up front because they said there are no OEM for the front. And yes gears are worth it. As others have stated, night and day difference.

That is usually the labor rate. Add gears and fluids and whetever to that to give you a good idea. I just had my done with Strange/US Gears. I had the gears overnighted because I was need the truck back up. Freight was 70 and 6 hours of labor, parts, fluids. All in all, it was around 850.
