[QUOTE="4xsteve, post: 1541181, member: 4652"] This is truth! There's not much way to tell what gears are better than others because, as stated a couple of times already, setup and break in is 90% of what makes a gearset last, not what brand. Something I learned recently in my own research for replacement gears (5.29's for a Toyota 8" HP) is that if you're never going to run them on the highway, there is less need to go with high-dollar gears. Typically, the more expensive they are, the more accurate their cuts are. The closer tolerance a set has in production results in cooler running gears and quieter gears. These aren't big issues for trail-only rigs that rarely see more than 40mph, and even then, usually for very short times. This is still ALL DEPENDENT on what was first said though: Proper set up is crucial!!! Buy the cheapest set you want, but spend the extra time, effort or money on proper setup and they'll last a lot longer. [/QUOTE]
