When I first geared my axles I had genuine gears in them and professionally installed I might ad. 6 months later I'm driving down I5 I chipped ring gear teeth both my rubi44 and 8.8 all at the same time. They were a complete waste of $$. After looking around I found out genuine are the worst gear out there (I should have done my homework) and I went to yukons.

Never had a single problem with my yukons and its been a few years now. If you are looking for gears DON'T BUY GENUINE GEARS. I hear superior's are a decent gear.......

Sorry to hear about the yukons

I trimmed my front fenders over at cherokeefever's house today. He let me use his air nibbler. That is one awesome tool for trimming fenders!
