My Genuine gears work just fine but, then so does my Smittybuilt XRC8000 winch. I go for best price until a part fails me. I find pretty dumb to pay more for something just so it has the right name on it.

Genuine Gear/Timken Bearing package deal from 4wheel Parts is the best deal around on gears and install kits.

Who or what package would you suggest then? I may be in the same boat as I am considering 4.10 gears soon.

okcJeeper, 4.10s will be perfect if you don't have plans to ever go any bigger on your tires than 32s. If you ever want those 33s or 35s better go with 4.56s. I planned ahead and got the 4.56s. they are are little low for 32s but, you can live with them until you can afford bigger tires. Just some food for thought.

So, what is the best deal out there on a R & P and install kit package for both ends, then???? The Genuines at 4Wheel Parts was the best deal I could find without having a family memebver in the biz.....I even installed them myself so I felt I got a really good deal, saving myself about $700 in labor costs.

I'm biased when it comes to gears....

I go with Richmond any chance I get.

If they don't have a ratio I need, then I search around for someone who does, other than that, well, it's Richmond.
And they do usually have a R&P install package for the more popular diffs.
