Thats respectble for only 5 mods.<br /><br />I would reccomend you going to <a href="http://www.Rearendspecialties.com" target="_blank">www.Rearendspecialties.com</a> <br />for your gear install and I would reccomend you looking for your parts from either <a href="http://www.summitracing.com" target="_blank">www.summitracing.com</a> or <a href="http://www.jegs.com" target="_blank">www.jegs.com</a><br />Summit is quicker because they do ship out of Reno and you get your parts in like 2 days or quicker. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
