Thanks SilverSS. So I just need the ring and pinion sets? I bet the bearings, shims, etc aren't included.

You can purchase the master install kits, they have the pinion and carrier bearings, shims, ring gear bolts, crush sleeve and pinion nut along with gear marking compound and a little brush. You'll be all set.
~$150.

One last question, on a scale of 1-10, difficulty of install? I have access to probably 90% of every tool you can imagine.

Gears? If you haven't done them before, about a 9 to get them set up correctly. If you have done them a couple times, or, have someone that has to help you, around a 4 or so. Getting them in is easy, set up correctly is the fun part.

Micrometer for shim thickness also, they don't mark them, you gotta figure them out. And a shop press, gotta have a press.
I took my rear end out to work on it. Was a lot easier for me, my eyes don't focus at close range like they used to, and it's easier setting up gears when your not under the trk.
I also put in a Ratech solid spacer instead of that crush sleeve.

Why the solid spacer instead of the crush sleeve ?
