May I ask where? Thats better then the best price I've found and I'm getting ready to buy the same package.

I can't rememeber who on this forum told me about him, but here's how you contact him:

Search for discountgearing as the username on ebay and respond with a question to one of his auctions and tell him what you'll need, he'll send you a paypal invoice.

I just told him d35 Ifs and 8.8 4.88's and he put the package together. I didn't know I was gonna get Yukon's, that made it even better!!!

If you want to buy it soon just search this ebay item #: 320006461671 and ask seller a question, than just tell him what you want.

He even made sure I got the D35 IFS install kit. (not the regular d35 kit that some people mistakenly buy)

Haha. I told you about him! But that is a cheaper price then I was quoted thats why I thought you went with someone else!

maybe because I didn't get it with the notched pin, because I have the aussie lockers on there way and I couldn't find a definite answer on how the lockers are going to install with my new gears.

a year ago or so ring and pinions were $100 no matter what ratio, the install kits have always been $99, so $420 is just about the right price if you ask me. I have paid more and likely will again, but that is a great deal for Yukon rings and pinions for both diffs and the install kits.

I would change to 5.13 if you want the best performance off-road. I've had 4.56 with 35s on two explorers now and will be changing to 5.13s when money permits.

thanks froader for the link

Actually I looked pretty hard for 5.13's for the front D35 and couldn't find them. So went with the 4.88's, if anyone knows of a place you can fine 5.13's I'd like to know just for the hell of it.


About gearing calculators: SEARCH! (ie, 'gear calculator' in google) There are a lot more calculators that have vehicles information already known and will tell you differences of speed and gearing changes. But that link is a good start.
