Gears, Lockers, Prices...

Hey I got a few questions. I will be running 36" Tires with a 22R Manual Tranny so I would want to gear at 5.29 Correct?

Whats a good price on yukon 5.29's? I found them local in a suspension shop for $159.99 + Tax Each...

I also found Aussie Lockers for $249.99 and Locrights for $239.99 Each.

So I want to get...

(2) 5.29 Sets $159.99 Each
(2) Kits (Gaskets)
(2) Aussie Lockers $249.99 Each..

Any suggestions? I will be installing them myself with a friend who owns a rear end shop A.K.A. Free install

I am open to hear all opinions.

Sounds like you got it made with the rear end shop access.

Yeah I just want to make sure these gear prices are good. I honestly have never bought gears before.

I think it would be smarter to do lockers and gears all at once. Saves me from having to open up the diffs 2 diffrent times.

Yes, do gears and locker(s) at the same time

Saves time and effort.

Prices look pretty good to me.

Depends on what you are using the truck for IMHO. I have a 4runner that is strictly offroad, with the occasional drive onroad (its street legal). I also have a dual case, so there is no reason to regear the diffs to a weaker 5.29 (and yes, people will debate to a bloody end whether the 5.29 is weaker or not). I run a spool, and the trans has all the gears the truck needs.

IMO, I would do the 5.29's and the price sounds pretty good as marlin crawler is listing them for $195 http://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/dif...diff.htm#gears

What makes the 5.29 a weaker gear?

Yes they do...

Well I will use it for more DD than offroad but I will be wheeling on the weekends (Playing in the mud) I am in florida so no rock climbing for me just the hunting trails which consist of mud, more mud and more mud lol.

I am open to suggestions but I know my stock gears are not good for my big tires. I need something to maintain decent gas milage but still have power when I need it.
