I don't know. That looks awfully cheap for 2 sets of R&P's and 2 install kits. I think the Yukon gear 4.56 R&P and install kit for my D30 was almost that much, for one axle.

I'd be skeptical...good luck!

I would ask what brand they are. Complete Offroad sells a package deal for about the same price with Yukon gears and Timkin bearings.

May be a silly question but does DANA make their own gears? the "part brand" listed is DANA Spicer? whats this mean?

Hadn't looked that close but it says Dana Spicer Motive. Dana/Spicer does make gears, it's what came factory but Motive is aftermarket and a decent brand. Here's the million dollar question, do you know how to set up a ring and pinion. A lot of axle shops won't use your gears or will charge a bit more to use them. If you are having them installed check with the local shops before buying.
