I am gonna attempt to install my new 4.10 gears this weekend and rebuild the trac lok. Any suggestions or tips before I jack my car up? Thanks guys

What size gears did you have before? Let me know how much of a difference you feel with the new gears. My car still has the factory gears, it goes alright once I get into higher rpms but it doesn't feel like it has any low end torque until I hit around 2800-3000 rpm. I still can't decide between the 4.10 and 3.73
Good luck.

For what it's worth, I initially installed 4.10s but switched to 3.73s. The 4.10s sure give you great snap, but I found freeway cruising a bit too high revving for me.

Headers, cat-back, Bilstein shocks & struts, springs, pulleys, K&N filter, full-length sub-frame connectors, strut tower brace, 3.73s, Pro 5 shifter. Aren't these cars great?
