I just bought some from completeoffroad.com. I think the gears are better quality though :dunno: http://completeoffroad.com/i-124189...0-chrysler-8-25-gear-install-kit-package.html
only $20 more and free shipping

well.....

it doesnt say who makes the gears...but IIRC, rustys uses superior. The guy who did my gear setup said he didnt like superior gears...i dunno why.

I got some Yukons and rebuild kits for about $500. so that sounds like an OK price.

dont forget, your gona need a new carrier for the D30
This is the one that i got:http://completeoffroad.com/i-122971-carrier-dana-30-3-73-up-4-series.html
It only works for HP30 reverse cut though

Think i paid $518 out the door for the gear package and carrier

Rusty's price isn't bad until he adds shipping. His shipping prices are outrageous.

X2 on the shipping. I have found that if you call Rusty and get a shipping quote it is usually less then the internet quoted shipping price.

IIRC, the only carrier that cares about reverse cut or not is the true track. The one you posted is good for high or low pinion, it even says so in the item details.
