Rear end Gear Replacement

I need to replace all of the gears in the rear end of my 98' F-150 XL. I am curious to see if any of you know of a place to get the gears and what else I might need. Also, I'm wondering how involved this process will be? Is it something that I can do myself? Any help woud be greatly appreciated sine I need to do this ASAP.

Thanks again

A local differential shop installed this brand in my truck.

I have heard good replies about Richmond gears but bad things about Motive and Superior;they make alot of noise!
