| Post subject: | Preparing for the regear |
Starting to do the prep work for a re-gear after the first of the year. Going to 4.10's with Detroit Locker out back. I've been online, looking at pricing, etc. Just looking for solid information from those that have already done the gear swap. What brand of gears did you use? Would you recommend a specific brand? Where did you get them from? What should I expect to pay for each set? Did they come with an install kit? If I have to get the install kit separately, where should I get it from?? This is just me over thinking everything again. Just want to make sure I've got all the pieces together when the time comes, as I'd like to be able to drop it at the shop in the morning, and pick it up the next day or so. |

Only one company makes gears for the front D30A and that is Dana/Spicer.Yukon gears for the rear are the better gears but Motive and richmond gears are good also.Expect to pay at least $300 or so for each gear set and another $100-$150 for each master install kit.You can buy everything needed from JBA. |

I'll also put in a plug for East Coast Gear Supply (ECGS) out of Raleigh, NC (a heck of a lot cheaper than shipping from CA for those of us East of the Mississippi), and for Nitro Gears (who offer Chrysler 8.25" gears in 3.55, 3.73, 3.90, 4.10, 4.56, and 4.88 ratios). They are well known after-market gear manufactures among the 'Yota crowd and have recently branched out into the Jeep/Chrysler line of axles. $230 retail price (+$5 for 4.88s) and free-shipping if you order $500 or more of stuff (I got my Detroit Locker from them as well, so I took advantage of this). |

I bought everything I needed, except for the ARB lockers from Jeepin by Al. |
