below is a list of parts you will need to install gears properly these are the exact parts i bought to install mine so i know there good quality....

i bought a used set of ford gears off e-bay and saved approx $125-$150 but before buying you need to contact buyer and ensure he has a return policy and that gears are in good shape with no breaks,crack or chips and pay thru paypal to only paypal verified sellers this is a step most people overlook but if you do as i stated above you will get a good quality part and if you have problems you can return for a refund and if you still have problems e-bay and paypal will help but this happens rarely if you do as i said by contacting seller and asking questions,ensuring they have a return policy and buying only from verified paypal sellers with paypal its worth the savings it was for me click on link below for a set of ford gears for sale...similar to the one i bought but in a 4.10 size.

Bill, you installed your own gears? You have the tools to measure?

I see you live in Gadsen while I live in B'ham. How interested are you in installing my gears?

Its a very easy job. I simply hand a $100 bill to our local engine builder I would get a traction lock rebuild and a master rebuild with new wheel bearings and seals while you at it.

i paid a man to help me when i installed mine it was the first time i had ever changed the gears on a 8.8 ford i'm an ex chevy man but he had all the tools (air tools) which made it easier and i used it as a learning experience.a good friend of my inlaws..i would not install for anyone but myself there is to much of a liability but i can try to get ahold of the man that helped me install mine he installs them in local dirt track race cars i think he charges about $250-$300 labor.and a friend of mine had his installed buy a person in alexandria,AL thats between gadsden and anniston you can get ahold of him at the site he runs http://forums.qwiksnake.com/ he goes by italian LX he and qwk snke does it for a living the people i refered do a good job and when it comes to gears.

I installed my own gears a couple of months ago, it's not that hard it is just time consuming.

Subscribing for someone to install our gears

Autosport here in Huntsville wants about $300 to install

Do it yourself, those internet right ups were very helpful to me.

There is a guy close to me that said he would charge $150 to install if the axle was out and $175 if the axle is still on the car. This would be to install the gears and the master bearing kit. I think its a pretty awesome price. So awesome that it scares me. He would be doing it at his house on his spare time....I guess he's a mechanic and I got his name from a local performance parts store south of B'ham. No overhead means low prices I guess......I hope......I'm scared........too scared to do it right now.
