Thats a job best left to professionals. The backlash and Pinion depth is critical,if either of these is wrong,you will ruin a new set of gears. You will need special tools to set these depths and a good working knowledge of the rear end assembly to replace the gears. If you are going to do this yourself,I would suggest looking for a rearend already with the 3.92:1 in a salvage yard and swapping whole rear axle assemblies.

I agree with horseapples, there are so many shims and the slightest miscalculation will cause a set of chewed up gears.
