Summit has the cheapest FRPP that I could find,

NOTE: If you get the gears and they are shiny send them back, you want them to be powdery black, my gear install guy said that the shinies are from china or something and the quality is bad

Also you should get either a trac-lok rebuild kit or a better posi unit

If the gears are shiny (a metallic appearance) they are more than likely used. I've had plenty of folks bring me "new" gears...only for me to tell them they were used. [Frown]
There is nothing wrong with used gears, as long as the wear pattern was correct and they are set up again correctly.

how much does a trac-lok rebuild kit go for and a new posi unit?? Also what do they do??

I THINK the rebuild kit was around $80, my guy reused a disc so it would have more holding power or something, Posi keeps you from doing one wheel burnouts [Big Grin]
