Okay i checked marlincrawler and Downey's and both their rear axle service kits are the same price. My question is should i get the downey's or the Marlin's? They both look identical but wonder which is better?

I know that Marlin offers indexed seals (a plus) and uses OEM toyota bearings...not sure about Downey. I would call them and confirm they use OEM bearings as well...
