    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. somehow i 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.
