    Thanks Pat I will, After getting home from the machine shop yesterday and the questions and help i got about my rear end, i decided to pull the cover off, and I was pissed.. the pinion gear clim's up the ring gear before it moves it around its sloppy, there are heavy scars on both ring and pinion and more scars on the spider gears and the center pin looks like it was hand ground with a die grinder dam neart in 1/2. So I am out looking in the sites today for a bolt in 12 bolt with 4:56's. Any suggestions?

    Will it bolt in easy or will I have to make several modifications? I have ladder bars and stock spring mounts.
