Norm, you getting serious with this stuff (LOL)
. Save a little of that money and time and come to Carlisle next year. Bring Neal, he'd love it, my son did.
If you install this yourself and it doesn't whine like an ex-wife, give me a call and I'll come to your house so you can install a set for me too.

RE: Ring & Pinion Question
i dont know for sure i would think you would need shims at the least..especially if you swap carriers..
but heres another place with good prices..
4.10's ary only a couple bucks difference, but 3.73's are $12-ish cheaper

RE: Ring & Pinion Question
To anwser your question, this is the part number that you need on that website:
V8 8.8 gears Installation kit M-4210-B
YOu need the instalation kit becuase:
Any man with half a brain does not stick anything togeather without putting new bearings in it. You need a new crush sleeve. YOu need those shims to shim up your locking diff. The reasong you need the B and not the C is becuase those seals and bearings that they add in the C are not for the IRS. Those seals are what keep the oil from comming out the halfshaft holes, and the bearings are what they ride on. I have always had to get these from the ford house. I have a set on order @ 5 star that should be here anyday. THey cost an additional 40$. Depending on how many miles your car has on it, depends on if you HAVE to have them or not. But liek i said, when I have it apart I replace all those little bearings. Might as well do it right the first time.
