    I am about to order a new ring and pinion to get some better low speed performance. While I'm in there, what else should I just go ahead and replace? Was looking at https://www.jegs.com/i/Motive-Gear/683/RA310RAT/10002/-1 but that isn't touching axle bearings, etc. No problems with my rear end as it is right now but if I'm going to possibly destroy something during the tear down, I want to be ready to replace it.

    Thanks!

    Maglight flashlight will come in handy getting the seals started.

    About all they're good for now, LED technology has left them in the dust!

    I really thought those things were absolutely useless and threw away about 4 of them from my father-in-laws estate. Tsk,tsk.
