I looked at randy's just as a reference and it looks like the lowest I can get for the front is 4:88....thats not low enough. I can get lower in the rear.

What front axle are you running? 4.88 is as low as they go for a HP dana 30 as far as i know.

I have only dealt with Randy's retail side once, they were quick to respond and help me out. Now I deal with the wholesale reps. and let me tell you, that these guys jump through fire for me. The only reason why I am fast at shipping is because Randy's is fast. Most of my orders are shipped in like 15 min after I place them.
whatever you do, stay away from 4wheel parts wholesalers... and their genuin gears... cheap, yes. I would compare them to Randy's "budget" line of gears.

Does Randy provide any technical support if you have questions during the install? I'm getting ready to do this, but I haven't installed a gear set in 20 years or so.

you can allways email me pics if you are unsure of something or have a question. Chuck D did that and I was able to help him get a really good pattern. in fact, I put a few pics on my website in the tech section of a good pattern.
I install gears on a regular basis so I do know a bit. which axle are you regearing, the 35 or 8.25?
