Just got off the phone with the company that sells this bundle. Here is what you get...

The Posi Unit is Eaton, of course. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ETN-19556-010/
The Ring and Pinion are Richmond EXCEL. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RMG-12BT373/
The Installation Kit has NCB Bearings and Races.

So... Summit Pricing...
$469.95 - Eaton 12 bolt Truck Posi Unit
$165.95 - Richmond EXCEL Ring and Pinion 3.73
+ $75.00 - Bearing Kit
= $710.64 not including s/h...

Or... $650 on ebay w/ no s/h charge. I'm pulling the trigger tonight unless you guys have some compelling feedback about any of these items. If any of these items are cheap, weak, or inherently bad PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Time is of the essence due to my truck sitting at the shop until I supply parts.
