My 4.56's finally came in today for my 9" rear. I was wondering if anyone had any helpful tips or tricks that I could consider and/or use when I get ready to put them in. Thanks,
Matt

well, If I had the money to pay someone I might consider it, but being a college student trying to build a rig, it's hard to have all the extra cash needed. And besides, if everyone were to pay someone to do it and not learn themselves, then how's anyone gonna know how to do it 20 or 30 years down the road? I've got a good idea what i have to do... just wanted to know of any thing to help simplify the process. <IMG SRC="smilies/jeep2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/jeep1.gif" border="0">

No, I generally try to not go cheap on my parts, just the labor. Only thing my truck has been to the shop for in at least 3 years is for tranny work. I do everything else myself. They are U.S. Gears by the way.
