Default gear install kits?

I'm looking for install kits for the 8.8 ifs and 9.75 rear end,the shop says they can order them for more than the gears cost themselves,does anyone know of a good place to buy that's a little cheaper?

EBay Brother! You can get a complete set of Motive 4.56 or 4.88's with master installs for about $800.

Not a bad price on labor, but why not do it your self? All you need other than standard hand tools is a press & an impact. And I ran a set of gears from Rons Machine Service w/ Koyo bearings in my Jeep(3/4 ton Dana 44 & 60) for years with no issues. Timken is the best, but on a dime I'd run the Koyos without hesitation.

I've been told gears are not for people without a lot of experience lol
