3.73 gears should be available for both axles from an aftermarket source. I am assuming that you have a half ton pickup seeing how it only has 3.08 gears right now. Summit lists a set of of 8.8 3.73 axle gears for $190.00 The Dana 44 front may be in the same price range for a set of gears. Summit does not list anything for Dana 44's.

$400 to $600 would probably be for a whole axle. Do you want to and can you really spend that much? For $600 you could do gears front and rear and probably get bearings and seals in too for that price. This would not include labor if you do not want to do it yourself. You would still come out ahead though. Just think $600 per axle x2 is insane. You could find a whole donor truck for that much. In my opinion I would just change the gears. $1200 could greatly improve the stock axles on your truck.
