$1600 for front and rear? You might double check cause it's usually about that much for one end. Both ends is usually something like $3,000. And you have to do both if you do one.

I bet you can find some one that will trade. I know it was the first thing that crossed my mind! I got 3:73s but mine have some miles on them its a 2000.

If you do swap them you might be able to sell your old ones to make some of your money back.
