I am about to buy some ford racing 3.73 gears, but.. what exactly do I need??? I do not belive it is as simple as buying the gears and then letting a shop install them and call it good? Is there something I am missing or is it that easY? What else do I need that I am not thinking about or not knowing about.. ANy help? THanks..

ok...what if i piece this together??? i am looking at 3.73 gears.. the package is 259.95... I know where I can get some 3.73 gears themselves for 149.99... do you think I can get the other componenets for cheaper than just buying the package for 259.99??

thats a pretty good price....and contains all that you will or MIGHT need ,,without hunting all over townin the middle of the install for misc. parts..

This is the cheapest package I have seen so far. The install kit for the gears that you need is another 150 or 175. Then you still need to buy the oil for the rear end. I think this package is the best deal out there. American muscle has the install kit if you want to try and peice it together

ANy estimates on shop costs for installation? Will i need to get that gear thing where it makes your speed odometer right? or is that not required..
