well i have to say ive tried to setup a set of gears, with 50% of acomplishment...lol it sounded good on the power side but boy the backlash side was howlin terrible. i even took it apart again and adjusted it and it still was still a howler...lol i bought a set of 373 richmond gears and had a buddy at the racetrack set um up while i watched, and honestly he did everything i did but his results was alot better than mine. if you have a speed shop or racetrack (both dirt or drag) those guys know where to get it done cause they do it alot...hope i helped

Yes, a dial indicator is required.
Yes, you can do it yourself - but if you do, have someone with you that has done a few. This is a job that is taught hands on. Also, only do it yourself (even with experienced help) if you are prepared to buy another set of gears (and maybe a carrier).

If you are looking for someplace that will do them fairly inexpensively, try a local (not chain) 4x4 shop. They change out a LOT of gears.

Hope that helps. Let us know how it goes.
