It sounds like you can save time on the install by going with the new bearings and the risk of having to do it over again is reduced. But, it comes down to how skillfully the old bearings can be removed.

what he said. being that you have 3.21's, you will need to get a new carrier and i would recommend that you get the overhaul kit.

If you have an auto, you'll regret the 4.88's.
