agreed. awile back I was studying up on how to do them myself but there is one thing i couldnt learn from the internet; experience. doing these rear ends takes some experience that you can only get from doing several 9.25 rears... i dont want to practice on my own shit with $1000 in new parts...

Boy had the stock clip come off of his stock lsd and locked everything up and looked like someone dropped a frag granade in the rear end.

So pay $1800 once and have it done right and warantied vs paying $1250 to do it yourself with the possibilty of having to dish out another $1250 if you fuck something up.... The $1800 doesn't sound all that bad really. Gears are one of the few things I will never mess with

Yeah like you said a good shop that will warranty the work is prolly the best way to do it. I just want to learn, and after seeing what a "skilled gear install shop" did to weedahoe's gears, and rearend. I think Ill have better luck doing it myself with some online info, couple specialty tools, 2 buddies, and co-worker that builds rear-ends.
