Default Opinions on these gears

Ok so started looking at prices for re-gearing my Ram. I was on a website called www.accuautoparts.com and I clicked on for the 9.25'' rear end and came across saw an Axle rebuild kit and here is what it includes, this copy and paste straight from the website.

''Save time and money when you buy an Accu Axle Rebuild Kit. Take the guesswork out of buying parts to fix or upgrade your assembly. This kit replaces everything but the axleshafts! New internal parts including ring and pinion, limited-slip posi differential, and a master installation kit. This has all hardware required for complete installation including shims, bearings, races and pinion seal. Axleshafts, axleshaft bearings & axleshaft seals not included, and should be purchased separately.'' Pricetag = $753 that includes shipping.

Is this a good deal? I never really went out and priced for gears before tonight. And this is just for the rear axle correct?

i think all master kits come with all bearings, shims, seals, etc.

So basically what I need to get is two sets of gears. A set for the 9.25 and a set for the Dana44 front.... Then I need to get master install kits for the front and rear??

Anybody know if they have electric selectable lockers for the chrysler 9.25? I have seen an Air Selectable Locker for the 9.25'' but that is almost a $1k.

For air lockers there is no way around the price, hell a dana 44 air from arb is 900 buck. Heres a link for gears http://completeoffroad.com/c-69615-g...-packages.html

I've not seen a selectable locker for the rear. Up front you have a few options from air, electric, to cable.

go to http://www.justdifferentials.com/ i ordered 4.88 gears from them front and rear for $650 shipped and they come with master install kit. I got lucky and got the last set of precision gears. now they sell nitro gears and some others for the same price.

That trutrac has been getting a hellva workout this last week with the rain we've had. I've never seen it rain for a week straight in Texas.
