best place to get gear sets
I'm getting ready to put 5.29's in my rig (95 v6 pickup stock diffs)
Was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction for buying the sets. Any vendor out there running a good front and rear package deal?
Wouldnt be oppossed to a pair of usable used ones either

I got my gears, setup kits and a Spartan from East Coast Gear Supply, they came when the they were supposed to but I did receive one gearset that was different than the other. And the pinion shims were way too wide.

I had a great experience with East Coast Gear Supply. www.eastcoastgearsupply.com Quick shipment, everything bolted up, and quick easy core return/refund. Ryan handled the purchase and Chase answered all of my technical questions to make sure I ordered the right difs.

X3 for East Coast Gear Supply. I ordered my complete assembled 3rds and locker from them and I can't say enough good things about them. I placed my order and before they shipped it, Chase called me to make sure that what I was ordering would fit my setup and suit my needs. He even talked me through different locker options to find the one that would work best for what I am trying to accomplish with my truck. A+ service and all-around experience!

I got my front and rear from different sources to keep costs down and paid a guy cash for the swap after I pulled the diffs.
Front I got from Kurt at cruiseroutfitters.com
The rear I got at lowrangeoffroad.com - if you can get their LROR brand set (I think only comes in 8"), it's super good quality for a LOT less ($141 for the rear R&P, and I got the bearing set there too).
Call around and you'll shave money off little by little. Since I pulled and installed the diffs myself (hard but not impossible), the whole setup (with only the rear) bearings cost around $750, as opposed to $1400 having someone price it all and do it all.
good luck!
