You dont need a list, just a website. Try ring-pinion . com. Tell them what your axles are (i.e. I have a dana 60 and a sterling 10.5 - or whatever you do have. Get the ring and pinion and the complete overhaul kit. Done. Gear oil you can get local easy enough.

Just call them at Randys...They will answer your questions. Gears, master overhaul kits for both axle's AND ask for the rear hub seals....They dont come with the rear kit but should be replaced while it is all apart.
Your front axle is a Dana 50 rear axle is 10.5 Visteon/Sterling

Give Randy's Ring & Pinion a call. They will give you everything you need. When I got mine, I got the Yukon gear sets, I also got the master overhaul kits - one for the front and one for the rear.

Exactly $945.11 (from Randy's Ring and Pinion) for all of the gears and kits including shipping, and about $600 for installation from a local differential specialist.

So, about $1600 give or take to be exact.

Take a look at this thread, I wrote down the exact numbers:

I AGREE! After going the distance - spending lots of time and money to only switch from 3.73 to 4.10, you will be very dissapointed.
