As far as cheap goes can't help. But you do know that this is the best and most informative place (as far as I know) to buy gears and related components right? http://www.ringpinion.com/

on some brands, note the T or no T on the end of the part number to indicate the "thick" gearset which allows the standard 3.73 and down carrier to be reused.

Well the new gears are in the rear and what a differnce. Not sure of the new milage, but will let you all know in the near future. One question. Was looking at a LSD for the Dana 44. Do think it's something I should send the money on or not?

It will make all the difference in the world if you need the added traction. I have a Detroit Truetrac and highly recommend it. It is gear driven as opposed to clutch driven units that will wear out. The down side is they aren't cheap.

I was looking at the Auburn Gear ProSeries to go along with the new 456 gears. I push snow with my truck is why I thinking of do this and it should help the trans to a point

You don't want anything with clutches in the front, due to the way the CAD system works. You would be smoking clutches on a regular basis. (unless you do a front hub conversion...)
