Default Best place to buy gears?

Well as the title states, i need gears badly. I just drove from Washington state to Colorado to assist family with the flood and its the first trip I've taken in the Jeep and although I have known that my gear/tire combo is bad but I officially became fed up while driving through Utah and Colorado... So here's the verdict 3:21's and 35's don't work.... At all, even with a pentastar.

So onto the primary question:

Where is the best place to buy 4:56's with master overhaul kits?

Northridge charges $100 more because their 4:56's are nitro gears, and that's hard to stomach after driving to Colorado at 14-18mpg depending on where I was elevation wise.

I know that Nitro has a part number for a complete kit that includes front and rear R&P plus master install kits.

Nitro gears are more expensive than Yukon that is why the price is higher. Still don't think you will find a better deal.

X2 on the complete Nitro kits. Very nice to deal with one part number for the entire setup.

Talk to your install shop. Some prefer to source gears themselves. Are you having the install done in Colorado?
