78' Silverado · 11-17-2003, 08:50 PM

I am wanting to get some good 3.37 Gears to replace my old Highway 3.08s. I kno I got a 12-Bolt but is there any more info on the rear end i need to kno about for I buy the gears? Are they hard to install? Can yall reccommend a good site or place to buy from? How much of a difference will it actually make? Lots of questions i kno but...I kno if ur rear end isnt done well.....It will wine so I wanna ask every kinda ?. Thx alot guys.

It is usually recommended that you have gear professionally installed. The tools you will need to set them up will be more than paying for it to be installed.

I agree with the capt. said. You will love the 3:73's

I was going to get 3.73's somtime, but I thought I should save up more money, because I want a posi also. It should be a pretty nice differance over the 2.73's.

I went from a 2.73 to a 3.73 and picked up over a second in the 1/4 mile.
