What brand of gears did you go with? I got a quote from 4wheelparts and they tell me to go with G2 4.56 gears. Said G2 are as good as Yukons.

From what I was told they are just as good and have the same warrantee.

Went to the dealership to get a quote on swapping gears so it will be covered under warranty. They're giving me decent prices (surprisingly) but they said they can only get 4.11's for the rear and 4.10's for the front (OEM). They said it shouldn't cause any problems because you shouldn't engage 4x4 unless on slippery surface anyway, what do y'all think?

You will be fine it's not enough difference to matter anyways.

Four wheel parts did a nice job and all for 1,945 including 3 year 36,000 extreme plus warranty and the posi in the rear.
What 4wheelparts did you use?

OK, the dealership gave me a quote $300 more than local 4x4 shop, do you think it is worth that to let the dealership do it with factory parts and warranty? Who's to say the dealership would even do a better job. I'd be willing to bet the 4x4 shop has done way more gear swaps than the dealership but I don't know what I should do.

I'd go with the 4x4 shop. Im sure they've done more gear swaps. Also they probably offer a warranty too.
