I just blow up the carrier bearings in the rear Dana 35. So now is the time to replace the gears all the way around. What do I need to replace in the front to get the right set up. I want an open diff with 4.10 gears. I have an auto, 33" Swampers. I already have a set of 4.10's for the rear and a ARB. So 4.10 is the gear ratio I am sticking with. Thanks for the help

Check out randy's ring and pinion site...not sure what the URL is but if you search it will pop up right away. Drivetrain direct should also be a good place to look.
The "usual" tools and the ones I used are
-up to 250 lb torque wrench.
-pipe wrench for yoke
-socket to fit pinion
-press
-bearing seperator
-micrometer
-dial indicator, and magnetic base
-gear marking compound
I don't beleive I'm missing anything truly important. I may be able to give you a hand at some point if you need it. I'm only at hour away from you in Princeton, NJ. _nicko_

Dunno if I'd trust help for my gears by somebody named "gearwhine!"
