I know gearsets are available for the JK now, but what about install kits and carriers? Are aftermarket ones available or do we order these parts from the dealer when regearing? I plan on ordering gears soon, so I'm trying to get everything together.

 

i wouldn't go through the dealer for anything but warranty work. they are just too expensive.
R&P is tricky. talk to however is going to do the install, and find out what they cover. sometimes if you buy the gear-sets and all the accoutrements, and bring them in, they won't cover it if something goes wrong in the install and you end up grenading a diff. they'll blame it on bad gears.

 

I was just planning on getting the parts (bearing and stuff, not gears) from the dealer, not the labor. I have a good gear guy that I've used before. I checked a while back before aftermarket gears came out, and the prices on parts wasn't that bad. I know a guy who has a shop and can get better prices too.

That is a good point about talking to an installer first though. I can imagine what a mess that could be.
