They come with install kits.
Even if they are master install kits, I even more highly doubt they are the more expensive Timken bearings type of kits.

this looks more realistic except I bought that yukon master (comes with timken bearings) install kit on ebay for much cheaper (for the rear though) when I had my rear end rebuild because someone didnt install the 4.56 gears right and the lsd also blew up and had to be rebuild...
I've heard other say the same, but they could never explain why, and I've seen others on here use them without ill effect.

I'd call and make darn sure they come with master install kits. I highly doubt they do, they more than likely come with minor install kits, which as I stated before, if its been over 30,000 miles since you last touched the bearings in your axles, you need master install kits.

I just did 4.88 gear in my 9.25 rear.
getting ready to do the front with the same gear.
I did all the work myself. Yeah, I did need to get few more tools, but it outweight what I would have to spent on installation.
If you have to use THICK gear in your stock carrier you'll need to grind down one of the teeth as the cross pin will not slide through. That is what i had to do.
But boy, it took me about good 20-25 tries before I could get everything setup to the specs.
Not counting all the booze I had to get. Setting up process took me about 2hrs.
I've used Yukon Gear with their installation kit.
This is my first axle - I've never setup an axle before.
Just thought someone there done it so I can do it too.
Well now I got about 100 miles on the rear end and no noises, no funny sounds. Everything inspects tight. Looks great too. I got some small gussets welded onto the axle and I've flipped the U-bolts. They actually install from the bottom now with the bracket sitting on top of the springs.
