Default So Im getting gears installed and have a quick Q

Im getting 3.73 gears installed in my 89 LX and I just had two quick questions for you guys that I need cleared up before I buy all the stuff. Question 1: I think the correct spedo gear for 3.73's is a 21 tooth gear, correct? Question 2: I have found two installation kits, one is $40 and comes with everything minus bearings. The other kit is around $80 and bearings are included. So my question is do you think it is necessary or a good idea to replace the bearings as well?

Thanks for and responses

-Mike

unless you wanna chance the bearings crapping out and you having to tear it all apart again to do it all over again.

i dont know about you but i really dont like the smell of friction modifier.
