8 3/4 Rearend Kits?

[ckj688]

I have a 8 3/4 3.91 (489 case) rearend that needs new bearings. On top of that, I'm also going to buy 3.55 gears for it. Does anyone know a credible company that sells the ring and pinion installation kit w/ bearings?

I was looking at this and not sure if its a reliable kit:

Anything would help, I know very little about rearends!

Thanks!
Craig

That's a good kit. I'd ask Summit if it comes with Timken bearing though. They are better than most.

It seems like Motive Gear includes the timken bearing...unfortunately they don't have a kit for an 8 3/4! :angryfir:

What are you going to do with the gears you take out.

eh, not too sure yet, I'm debating whether I should keep em or sell em. Not sure if I should keep them for when I get around to having a 4 speed.
