I'm wondering if it would be cheaper in the long run to swap in an 8.8 w/ 4.10s than it would be to regear the 8.25. 8.8's around here are everywhere so I'm estimating I could pick one up for around 200-250, assuming I could find one with 4.10's. I don't have the skills or tools though to weld on new spring perches or install it. I'm guessing labor on that would be about 2-3 hours at 60-80 an hour. That puts me at 400-500 for the 8.8 swap vs I'm guessing the same to regear the 8.25 with parts and labor. I'm just guesstimating on this so any input would be helpful.
