Really? That's pretty damn good for that tire size. I'm surprised you get that kind of MPG's.

get the cheapest priced gears('name brand' gears).....the expensive ones(yukons) and the cheap ones have the SAME PART NUMBER!! Save like $50 per gearset.

I knew he would be but still wasn't expecting him to get no more than 15 at the most even with the correct gear ratios.

Please excuse my ignorance but I see they have the gear and install kit package deal... Do I need that or just the ring and pinion set?

Nice work. So its not a matter of just changing R&P we need the kit? Oh and what does it mean 4.56, 4.88, and 5.13 notched cross shaft required $39.00? We have to buy that seperate? Or they add the 39 bucks and it comes in the kit?

I would get what he marked on his invoice. That would be the best way to save some dough. Shane and I don't agree on much but we do agree on one thing and that's saving money. We are somewhat short handed and deep pocketted to an extent.

Basically...yes it's a matter of swapping the ring and pinion out. I'll let someone else take care of answering your question as to *if* a master install kit is required. I'm going that route because basically you're rebuilding the axle(new bearings, shims, ring, pinion, fluid and the like)...and my axle has 130k on it...why not you know?

The notched crosspin is talking about some ratios require that becaise of the size of the ring gear. You can reuse your stock one with grinding of the stock crosspin to clear the ring gear..or you can get an already notched crosspin if you wish to not mod your stock one. At least that's how i understand it. I'm a noob in this whole gearing/gear swap specifics dept. But i'm learning.
