Default Ring and Pinion Gears

Is there a good set to get? I could get the Richmond Gears from Summit for $349, from the forum shop for around $400, or I could get JT's Differentials for $175. Why is there such a price difference? Anyone used them?

you do not want to deal with jt's diff they have the worst customer service around .if you got a problem the owner Jeromy basically tells you to go to hell,he has no time for you because he ships out hundreds of orders a day he said that to me.he also told me ''i appreciate your business but i don't need it''.in his ad it said timken bearings ,i bought it and got garbage bearings .he charged me $175 for this kit you can get at any parts store for $100 and even his web site listed them at $100.but after i brought it to his attention he changed the price on web site.he would not do anything to fix the problem .he is a thief in my opinion stay away from jt's diff.

I've got Richmond thick gear 3.54s in mine and am very pleased. I've got no whine at all. Good luck.

I've never heard of those places..I bought new 3:73's for my Dana 44 from Randy's Ring and Pinion...got the master install kit as well...3 years, over 500 passes at the drag strip and 20,000 miles and never a problem...no whine either but I somewhat credit the installer for that...
