i dont see an assembled unit on their site. is there one that i'm missing? i know theres more than one guy who put these gears in his car. where did the rest of u get your 4.10 gears? and did you get a full rear unit and swap it for your stock one?

If you're going to pull the diff, why not just buy gears and have a local shop do the gear swap? I'd figure in your neck of the woods you could have the labor/shims done for ~$150, the gears are $210 from Tom's. That's a lot less than an exchange service.
