I was wondering how hard it is to change out my axles, gears, and diff because all my new toys that are starting to collect dust in my storage unit and I really want them installed.

Axles and differential are easy; gears take some patience getting it shimmed correctly. While you're at it, you should get a girdle and get your axle tubes welded as well IMO that way you don't have to tear into it again.

Most of it is easy to install...
But Measure the pinion gear with the shim in the rear...
Then measure the new Pinion you are putting in with enough shims to match the one that come out of the rear...
They both should be the same and use the factory diff shims...

I do have a girdle, I just forgot to mention it. It's a GMS Girdle. Where can I get the axle tubes welded?
