Hey everybody my names Mike, I recently developed a howl in the rear end which i determined is the bearings. I am looking at my options as far as just fixing whats wrong and replacing bearings, Or taking this time to re gear im thinking 4.10 or 4.56 not really sure, or even going for a set of used dana 60's. i have a 2.5 inch spacer up front and i am planning on running 315/75/17 so about a 35.. any advise would be awesome thanks.

Welcome, I lost an entire rear axle shaft eaten over an outside Bearing gone bad. The grind/howl actually sounded like it was coming from the Front end. It only took about 10 miles of driving after the first indication to come to that degree of damage. Changed everything front and rear and all is good. You will like Big Gears.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what brand of gears and where to buy from? 4.10 or 4.56? I sell them at work but they are big $$$. Im on a bit of a budget but I still want quality and I want them to be quiet.
