fwiw- I did motive 4.56's and had local install on both axles..
I went through about five shops before I found one who could tell me verbatim what needed to be done for install, and then reeled out the break in procedures.. he said 'well, I'll hafta take em out an put em in several times, but they will be right'.. I was sold.. the others didn't wanna talk about the procedures which told me they would be following a manual, which spoke of inexperience..
I'm thinking you would be well served to do something similar..

I would call and make sure that package includes Master install kits. At that price, I doubt it. You'll need a Master Kit for each axle with Timken bearings, no minor kit will work well. You don't want to be redoing this later and paying labor all over again. It says the gears are Yukon, doesn't say anything about the install kits that I can find other than there is a kit included.

After using an RPM calc, and seeing your experience while lurking for a bit, I think I might reconsider... don't wanna do it and wish I did it over ya kno?

Nice looking truck you have there. Bds looks like a nice kit but how you get 6" out of it? Looking at there kit and i cant find a 6" lift at all think that would be perfect height. Can you point me in the right direction? Could you put a few pics of your suspension. Like to see how all the brackets and such going to work. With everyone else 4.88 and a locker. One wheel peel defeats the purpose of low gears.

I'll take some pic's tmrw. The kit I have is ancient, so I'm not sure what luck you will have finding it. I crushed a shock from the stabilizing kit that was bought the same time, and BDS doesn't make it anymore. How do I know? I ran the part number on eBay and craigslist, I called my local parts house, tried Google, and called BDS and got transfered four times until they finally told me they discontinued the product. Terrible. Now I'm driving around with one stabilizer.
