Gearing Purchase...where?

Can anyone reccomend a good place to order gears from? I'm looking for a set of 4.88's for my '92 4Runner (V6), and possibly a Detroit Trutrac(if the price is right)

I've looked local, but it seems that ordering from the US is the cheapest option as of late (especially with a $0.90 Cdn dollar). I've looked at DC4wd and Complete Offroad . Both with pretty good prices, but any others anyone can think of?

Also, for those that have re-geared, is it really neccesary to replace all the bearings and such? I haven't seemed to have any problems with them (I'll probably do it anyways though).

Yes, you need master install kits. They're not that expensive, and there's probably A LOT of miles on the bearings/seals that are in there...

I got my Yukon gears from Randy's - they had some smokin' deal when I got mine.

Got my ARB's from Alex.
