Re: Gears and axles
 

There are three shops here in San Antonio and one in Biloxi, MS that will.
Those are the people I've talked to so far. Every one of them has
recommended 4.88's (although I was told 4.56's would be good enough by one
shop) knowing I have a Dana 35c. One shop did say that I SHOULD get an 8.8
or Dana 44 first if possible. Can't seem to find either one anywhere,
though.

Geeze!
Buy my 44 rear and 25 front with 4.27 in them and use the savings to fit
them up any way you like. Even with shipping them won't put you in the
range of dinero you're looking at.
I'm only asking $100 for the pair complete with Warn lock-o-matics.
