Gears are not for the novice to install. Find an installer first, then buy your gears. Under 50k miles you can buy just the ring and pinion. Over 50k its recommended to get the master rebuild kit. But its up to you and the installer.

My installer told me just to get the ring and pinion and he had the rest. Most installers have so many shims and left over parts from gear installs that they have enough shims and small parts for you.

Do not try and do this yourself, even if you could and I know I could if i had the tools, Thats the problem. The professional guages and tools you need to do it right cost way too much for just a one time install.

There is a local guy here everyone uses and does gear installs for $200, which is a bargain. He's done 5 Jobs for me in 15 years and never a problem and never any gear noise.

Where you located at. Ask around on the forums here to find a local installer. Or call 4x4 shops or speed shops to find an installer. Your Local Ford dealer can do installs, but it wont be cheap.

Welcome to the forums and Good luck
