best clutch kit 84

Going to replace my clutch in the next couple of weeks. Any recommendations or what brand or type to get. I want something better than stock as far as performance and life. Running on 84 pickup 4x4 flatbed with 33s and 4 inch suspension lift. Also while the trans is out, what else can I replace as far as seals gaskets etc?

I have the Marlin 1200lb clutch kit. Great product.

Rear main seal is primary for replacement. Even if it's not leaking, because as soon as you put the trans back in, it will start leaking... Murphy ensures this...

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks. I was looking at those as well. Since I'm not a crawler (mostly hunting and riding around the farm) I think the 1200lbs would be fine.

Mine feels like stock at the pedal, but has a little better grip for my bigger tires and such.

I noticed in your other thread that Marlin is out of clutches. And FYI, Lowrange is a Trail-Gear dealer. I've HEARD that TG clutches aren't true Japanese Aisin clutches, but chinese copies. I can't confirm or deny this. Take it for what it's worth...

whats the difference in some of these aisin clutches? I have found 2 completly different part numbers that fit my truck. One runs around $180 and the other runs $110ish.

I went thru napa clutches super fast. Bought a marlin clutch and have no complaints. Pedal actually feels lighter. I'd definitely buy another when it's time
