Cost for gears and diffs

Im thinking of getting 4:30 gears and detroit tru tracs installed front and rear. I called a local shop and they said 4000 bucks including labor. For those of you who have same or similar setup (and didnt do it yourself) is this quote near what you paid?

I am not sure what the tru tracs add but I paid $2200.00 for the gears and labor a couple years ago..

I looked up the prices of the tru tracs, and the front was 623 and 727 for the rear. So it still seems a bit steep. How do you like having the 430 gears?

Thanks!

Love them , I have a 5.4 so if I did again I might have went with 4:56 but for your 6.0 I wouldn't go with anymore than 4:30
