Wow... I need to find the closest EVO shop. I guess I can order the items online from Northridge. I'll get with Dave. Is there a EVO forum rep on here that works with us?

SnoPro269 I tried to PM you but your box is full... I was wanting to know a little more about your purchase.

What exactly is in the complete EVO package? Is that the sleeves and gussets and control arm skids?

Thanks...

The 2 shops I called want $650-$700 JUST FOR GEARS!!!

What brand of gears and overhaul kits did you get for $550?

Ahhh. Not bad. I guess I should have ordered Yukon rather than G2 from 4wd Hardware.

Just got my jeep back this afternoon with a 5.38 gear install in my auto
I think 5.38 is a great choice for someone that goes above a 35 inch tire or someone who doesn't run freeway above 70 mph.
I am glad I went with 5.38 choice but a 5.13 is only a few rpm difference so with that I guess it all depends on a persons application!!
