Probably looking for two separate mechanics one who works on 80s and I also need a good driveline specialist who can install lockers and gears

To clarify, I need someone to install lockers and gears because that's something I haven't tackled before. And to do a once over on the driveline and make sure I'm not missing something. I'm planning on long trip next summer and don't want a failure because of poor install on my part. Otherwise, these things are pretty basic and I can handle most everything else on my own or father-in-law who owns a body shop.
 
Depends, are you removing the third members yourself and just need someone to do the lockers ans gears? Or are you dropping the 80 off and basically wanting the axles refreshed?
 
I'm not sure yet, depends on the cost. I could probably handle getting the third members out and then wiring up electric or air. I just have no idea what this would cost either way other than the parts at this point.

Also not sure if I really need to regear at the same time for 35's or not

Joe is the man when it comes to diff set up!
 
Just beware if Joe helps, your wife may wonder why your oven has a unique smell to it...
He knows his stuff!
Otherwise you can send them to the guy in Arizona and he can build the thirds and send back for install. Yuk may be his name but someone will have his actual info.
 
Joe, you interested or also sounds like Zuk may be an option. Thanks, not sure how to respond to the oven yet--but you guys sound like you know how to have fun.

This thing is going to make me part with my wallet really fast.
