don't bother with the gears if you don't put in the t-lok.

I'd get a Torsen style diff instead since they don't have clutches that wear out and can be used as a "brake assisted" locker. However, a T-Lok is cheaper so for price sake, it may be not be worth it to get a Torsen style diff.

Lol..for some reason gears and t-lok keep getting pushed back in my list. I heard Rangers had 3.73 and t-loks in their 7.5's so I may go jack the rear out of one in a junkyard or something.

15lbs seems kinda light. I Shipped some to a guy once and I think they were 27lbs, 8.8 though but I wouldn't think there would be that much of a difference. Could be the package weight of my hood that I'm thinking about though. One of the two, or both were 27lbs.
