From what I understand the carrier must also be changed out to accept the 3:08 gears. But there is a shop in town that does nothing but rear ends and for 1200 I get all new bearing, seals, posi (<-- biggest expense) and gears. They also clean and repaint the housing. Add 300 bucks for the 5 lug axels from CPP. Up to 1500 for a rear end where I’m looking at around 2000 for a 700r swap before I even get a drive shaft..
