There is no set price, as it depends on the application. It ranges anywhere from $275 to $400 labor depending on which vehicle/axle it is.
Here are some examples...
It's $325 labor for a any f-body 10-bolt or Chevy truck 10-bolt.
$275 if you bring the rearend to me out of the car.
It's $400 labor for a C5 or C6 Vette as they are extremely time-consuming (this is with the rearend out of the car). Also $400 for the Dodge 1/2ton trucks due to extensive clearancing/housing modifications.

Ford Mustang solid axle is $300 labor, and $400 for IRS rearends (includes R&R & gear setup. All prices include installing all new bearings/seals as well.
I also give you all parts at my cost.

I would be careful with shooting off. The 10 bolt is weak and the higher the gear the weaker they get. I was getting 3.73 for the 10 bolt and every one at summit said that a bad ide so know im looking for a 9 inch
