Just found out I am getting gears for Christmas.
Anyway, I know I want 4:10's, but my husband told me to decide what brand. Which brand do you guys recommend???
Thanks!!!

Try to buy the gears from the shop that will install it... if you buy the gears and bring them to a shop they probably won't warrant their work.

Shops like to make money off the parts not just the labor. Since they can get the parts cheaper than you and I anyways might as well let them...
