4.88's AND 5.13's still available...

[KPSquared]

So, I have been in the hunt for 4.88's for my 8.8/D35 only to be informed that they are "backordered for an unknown amount of time" for the Dana 35... Well, this SUCKS 'cause I really want to get my rig on the road. I call about a 1000 shops only to find out everyone seems to get their gears from the same place and no one happens to have any on the shelves. I figure great, last year no more 5.13's and this year no more 4.88's. Then I find a link to JT Parts and Accessories... www.justdifferentials.com. I don't know much about Nitro Gears but they have a full supply of reverse rotation 4.88's and 5.13's on the shelf ready for shipping. 2 year warranty so can't be that bad. I have ordered a set and I guess we'll see. So, if your in the market, check em out, great service so far. Maybe there will be a few Dana 35's with 5.13's and 37's out there yet...not that thats a great plan but it's hard to beat the TTB out of some guys

...Nice find...:biggthump

...What yr/mk/model are you putting these in..??

They are going in a '92 XLT. Superlift 5.5, 35x12.50x15 Cooper Discoverer STT's, SOA out back. Got Yukons for the back but these will have to do for the front.

Son of a b*tch.... Anyone else think it's worth going from 4.56 to 5.13?

Okay I'm seriously thinking about doing it. If I just changed my gears out from 3.27 to 4.56 less then 1000 miles ago. Do I have to bother with getting a new installation kit? Or would I be alright using the oldish bearings and what not. I still have shims lying around from the last installation kit I can use need be. For the front I have a 3rd member lying around I can just swap it out on the ground (would do new bearings and what not) and then quick pull it out and bolt it up.

$ $ $. Why are rebuild/install kits for the front axle so expensive?
