Default Anyone have Yukon gears?

just wondering if anyone was running Yukon gears and how they compare to the Superior. They're about $150 higher than the superior gears, (the price I was quoted vs price of superiors from Norhridge). Just wondering if anyone had experience with these gears

I've been told the same thing. Also, there evidence that Superior = Yukon (or the other way), at least for some gear sets. Here's another post on the subject:

Northridge is correct Yukon is selling Superior gears in a Yukon box (very common practice (as I sure there are some Superior gears for other axles that are from Yukon)

That being said I would just go with the Superior. Cheaper, easier warranty issue's and Superior is on here helping out all the time.

Well, I would go with superior gears but all of the shops around here will only install gears they order themselves, and they all have suppliers that carry Yukon gears. They won't install superior gears due to warranty issues

That is the same in my area. I guess they, as installers, have different warranties? Yukon is charging the same price for the gears as Superior is; in my neck of the woods.
