Nitro supplied Incorrect ring gear hardware (7/16 bolts) which failed shortly after the install. Before the install I double checked w Nitro and they insisted that their 7/16 hardware was ok to use in a carrier w 1/2 holes. Once I replaced it with correct 1/2 hardware and ring gear no issues. Expensive lesson. Go with dana or spicer hardware and gears.
