Why not do the work yourself?... It was well worth it for me. Had a blast and learned alot!
1992 ECSB SFA K1500: D60 Front, D70 Rear, Hydro assist. 9"s of lift sittin' on 37"s
1997 RCSB K1500: CAI, Exhaust, Tune. Headed to the trans shop!
1999 2dr Tahoe: 4" Rancho Lift, 4.56s W/ True-trac.
i have a done a few things on my own which didnt turn out too well.
i live in newly built apt. and my driveway is brand new cement nice and clean.
so i changed a solenoid in the trans and put a deep pan on. somehowi ended up spilling like a gallon of tranny fluid all over the driveway lol
huge mess, cleaning it was more work then the work on the truck, so undertaking an axle swap would be a complete disaster for me im sure.
the guy doing it has done many, is probably one of the best fab guys around and he is giving me a good deal with everything.
so for the labor cost its very well worth it to me to have it done right and not in my driveway.
I with ya. Pay a pro to do it. If I did an axle swap. An axle would fall out from under my truck.
99RCSB Broke because I wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on my truck.
I would even pay someone for a solid axle swap if I wanted one.![]()
