Hello, looking to upgrading my stock rear 35 to a super 35 and re gearing to 4.10 on 33s. Got a quote for parts and wanting to know if this is a fair price for an upgrade? Thanks or recommendations possibly. Quote is about 2,300
Is this a reasonable price for re-gearing?

Sounds like a very reasonable price given the re-gearing, axles, and locker.
4.10s with 33s? Surprised nobody has jumped on that. I have 33s with 4.10s and a 5 spd and it's adequate but 4.56s would make 5th much more usable. Some will say 4.88s minimum with 33s. If already on 4.10s never mind.
Yep, that's a pretty good price I'd say.
He's got a 32RH 3-speed automatic. 4.10 gears with that setup sounds about right to me.

I did my regear pre-Chinese Lung AIDS plandemic so I don't know the going rate in my area but that doesn't seem too bad to me for what you're getting.
he has the 32RH three speed auto (no overdrive)
Does R&G offer their US rear axles for the S35 kit?
If so, I'd get the US made version instead of the Discovery if you can afford the additional cost.
Like doing it twice?
I was thinking 3-4 times maybe more.

Unfortunately, Revolution only offers their super 35 axle shafts in the Discovery series (made in India). Or at least that was the case when I bought mine in 2020. But I've never heard of a failure yet from one of these shafts and I believe they remain the highest regarded s35 shafts on today's market.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Technically yes...last I checked there was a front and a rear axle! =)
With a little patience and time, and an investment in some tools regearing is completely accomplishable.
I do @hear it's possibly a gateway drug to rebuilding transmissions. So be careful!

Sounds about right… had my 97 tj regeared a couple of mounts ago for $2800… Dana 30 and Dana 35’s, 4:10 front and rear and LSD’s in both…
I regeared my previous Tj on jack stands and bought all the tools necessary… if the axles were on the bench I would do it again but getting up and down and installing and uninstalling a dozen times from the ground wasn’t worth it to me this time… just my 2 cents…

I'd like to think that a US version would be available if it was necessary. Sounds like you are in good hands.

Oh hell no. I locked up the rear end of my F250 because I didn't check backlash with the carrier bearings torqued down.
But that was before the Internet and YouTube.

I did a Super35 install, without changing gears, within the last two years. I spent around $1,750, but that was with at least one black friday sale and shopping around, no gear change. Your parts cost looks reasonable. Will you be doing this yourself?
Here's a thread I created; https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/super-35-cost.69877/
It's the other way 'round. Seems like there are only two repairs the internet will reliably tell you not to attempt yourself: automatic transmission work & re-gearing. Having rebuilt a bunch of trannies now, gears were inevitable.....and now I've done that twice too. Self-empowerment is low key addictive.

That was the first thing I noticed. The prices are basically what you can get them for online, honestly some of them can be had for 10-15% cheaper if you're patience. Very curious what the labor quote is.
