yeah, I think you need the reverse cut gears. not because it's a high pinion or low pinion I mean the ring gear doesn't care where it contacts the pinion gear, it's the rotation. you can get a different carrier or thicker ring gear from summit racing.I hope others will chime in. this is a little out of my expertise.

High pinion/reverse cut gears are for Ford or other types with....well...the high mount pinion. Its the opposite of your Dodge. These guys have both.

Yeah, you don't need reverse cut gears. They are for high pinion axles, which yours are not. Wherever you order the gears from, just tell them what axles you have and what gears you want... they will know what to send you.

you see last time i just told them what i have, and what i need, i got the wrong things... its what happen with my shocks... so i want to find a place i can get 5.13 reg cut, reg rotation, thick gears... this is a temporary regear until i get the money to put in the elockers( or arbs depending on how long i feel like waiting) and regear again, nd maybe 5.38...cause i dont want to mess with restuffing carriers.. unless i like the 5.13s
