MACKS Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Cheapest way is to change the ring and pinion gears but you will be limited to certain ratios.

Lmackattack Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 around here that is kinda slow of a rear end so it would be hard to find them used. Alot of people just buy a complete drop in take outs and change the seals at the same time. less stuff to R&R. but like said above cheepest way, if you do all the labor is to just get 2 ring and pinion set.
