I might be wrong, but don't you need a master kit for both axles?

Master install kits, and gear sets are all you need to bring to an installer.

So I guess that's all then that I have linked, thankya. I'm going to call that autoplicity place and see if they will price match Summit's Dana 44 gear set first.

I recommend doing rear axle bearings and seals while your there or at least seals because 50% of the time they dont seal up well if not replaced.
On the front I HIGHLY recommend doing those seals as the carrier has to come out to do them and they sometimes leak if reused. If they do its 4.5 hour job to replace them( have to tear it all back apart)

How much are the seals for front and rear? Since I'm spending this much, I might as well do it right. Don't feel like driving it 2.5 hours again if the seals go since I'm going to a specialized offroad shop to get this job done. :p

Where could I get the seals at?

Napa seals are what I use for most applications

Can you still get the 4.88s at Summit? I haven't been following too closely, been off the forum a bit.

They seem to be out of stock too.

There's one company on ebay that I'm not sure about. $160 shipped. They're called drivetrainsystems. They say they make their own gears.
