Unless you have some sticky tires, you're probably not going to run 13's and have nothing to worry about.

Good point- even w/ your mods you are sporting a bit more weight than the LX'x and GT's. I bet you can get low 14's w/ agressive shifting and controlled launch (minimize tire spin)

That is just labor, right? No changes to the trac-loc, bearings, etc? You brought them the R&P and they simply installed them?

Should be just labor. That is cheap. I normally charge $200 and I wouldn't charge any less. Its a dirty job. Some shops will try to give you some jazz about your axles being worn out and stuff. Tell them to show you. Alot of shops will get people for new axles when nothing is wrong with them and then clean them and install in other cars.
