ive seen new gears for 120 or so, why not spend a little more for the guarantee that they're new/unabused?

when you do the gears its a good idea to do carrier bearings as well. i also do axle seals and axle bearings and pinion bearings. just to make sure the rear end is solid.


youll need the diff cover gasket, pinion seal, and some fluid. pretty sure thats it. been a while since i did an 8.8 and like pro5.0 said, its probably better to have someone who knows what they're doing do it.
