swapping gears is tedious, and isnt for everyone.
Do some research..there is a LOT to do to setup gears properly.

Setting up gears isn't common work anyone can do off the street. You have to set them up properly.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Just swap the axle or weld a new shock mount on. It's just a freakin stud man. Way easier than gears. Especially on your rear (I'd be less cautious up front)
