Default Nitro Gears or what Brand to buy?

So the following link is for a pretty good deal on 5.13 Nitro Gears and install kits... front and back for $600. I honestly don't know much about gear brands and was wondering if anyone has had experience with these gears.... good, bad, ugly? Or what do you all recommend? Im not afraid to spend a little extra so not by junk. Thanks

I went with the Ten Factory gears, as well as rear chromoly shafts. Very good quality, but honestly most of those gears are rebranded from the same factory.

I would recommend Ten Factory. They have a 10 year no questions asked warranty for the same price. If a gear install is done right, and you don't abuse them, you'll probably never need the warranty, but having that peace of mind that they will send you another set without running you through the ringer is worth it.

Ten Factory is a division of Motive Gear, and they have been making gears and axle shafts for a LONG time.

Let me know if you need help we ship for free and there is no sales tax if you're outside of Texas.
