    Wrench sorry to say, but...

    Chances are good that the front locker install will co$t MORE than the rear...

    As the entire center section has to be dropped for the third member to come out.
    The rear axle is MUCH easier, as you only have to pull the speed sensors, rear axle shafts, drive shaft, & third member.

    It takes about 3 times as long to pull the front. A decent estimate would be to tripple the hours at shop rate. Or get a written quote before they start. Then the learning curve is on them.
    You basically have to tear the whole front suspension apart to get the front axle housing out. If you do go for the install consider diff drop brackets at the same time.
