    Ha ha ha! you guys are too funny!

    I agree that the gears are too tall, but why wouldn't (or shouldn't) I just do a ring and pinion swap? I have never done one, but is it really that hard?

    It's not difficult, IF you have the right tools to set the gears up with....

    You can find a YouTube video on just about anything these days. Here's on on doing a ring & pinion swap on a GM 10 bolt just to give you an idea of what you'd be getting into - How to install or change or replace gears and bearings in a rear end or differential - YouTube If you have a good 4X4 shop in the area, where the Jeep & Off-Road 4WD guys go they change out gears on a regular basis and are a good place to go to ensure proper setup (note I said a "good" 4x4 shop).

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
