On the road.
Started seriously looking at a regear on the SE this afternoon. Adding up all the costs for gears (the cheap part) and axle shafts, master install kits, Trutracs, etc, etc.

Came out to about $2,500 -$2,600 all in. That's doing the install myself. Holy cow! A set of Rubicon axles is looking better all the time!

OK, priced out a set of Rubicon axles, used, and feel much better now. :)

Rubicon axles aren’t cheap when they’re complete, that’s for sure.

That’s the reason I bought a Rubicon, that and the transfer case.

So, what are you getting exactly for the 2600?
A Revolution gear package package with master install kit for $530. Yukon 27 spline 4340 alloy axles for $1,250. A set of Trutracs for $900. Misc gear lube, u-joints etc. It's about $2,600, all in.

Are you doing the Yukon 27 spline front and rear for the $1,250?
 
I'm looking to get 4340 for the rear.
You probably won't find them in 27 spline. The 1541H seem to be a worthy upgrade if not doing a full Super 35 type set up. Here is some info on another site, wranglerforum.com/f282/re-axle-a-Dana 35-worth-it-or-waste-of-time-2026081.html
Substitute wrangler forum for the stars, one word.

I believe Yukon has the 4340 27 spline for the Dana 35.
