Jegs or Summit have most of r&p's from the major companies. I would go to at least a 3.42 or 3.55 if you are going to spend that kind of money!

Hey I could be wrong but don't most 85's already have 3.07's? I went with 3.73's and I love them.

If that's the route the OP wants to go I just so happen to have a very nice Dana 36 with 3.07's for sale on ebay right now. You can see it here

Nice part about doing it this way is that you could sell your old diff and make almost all of your money back.
