Re: 3.73's

you will need an install kit comes with new seals and what not, you will probabl need the 7.5/7.6 10 bolt gears

Re: 3.73's

if you have never set up a the ring and pinion before and dont have the money to spend on 4-5 sets you shouldnt attempt it... it is a pretty involved and precises set up... and you need to know what series carrier you have before you can purchase the correct set of gears...
