Turns out that I did not get the 4:11 gears like I wanted. The new carrier had 4:57 gears but I think they will work just fine for the local driving I will be using the truck for. It had 5:13 gears in it and I have yet to give it a good drive to town. Maybe this weekend? Speedo is way off now, but that is no big deal.

Thanks for hooking me up with the new gears.
