Default Gears- brands?

Ive done a search, but haven't found anything related to which manufacturer is best... Eventually want to run 35s... Thinking 4.88 gears. What brands are out there? Who should I use?

We have a pretty sweet deal going on right now with the yukon gears. Plus our 5% off sale.

Forgive my ignorance, but there are so many different 4.88 sets on there... What should I be looking at? I have a 2008 unlimited.

US Gear is making 4.88's for JK D44's. The word on the street is that this is the only JK gearset made in the US. All others are still being produced by the same company over in Asia, and just re-labeled for whichever company is selling them. So, compare prices and warranties and get whatever you like.

Here are the yukons that Dave mentioned:

With low miles, you might get away with install kits, but you are better off with Master/Overhaul kits that include new bearings.
