3rd. member swap?`

how easy is it to swap the 9" third member? i would probably get a shop to build one w/ 4.11 gears and l/s. i know i would have to take the axles out. but is it hard to swap the thirdmembers? or should i get a shop and pay mucho $$'s to do the whole mess. i really dont want to do that b/c i'm a college student that has like two $'s to my name.

All the gear alignment should be done when they build the carrier, so all you should have to do is take the old one out, and bolt the new one in.

It is pretty easy, especially if you have a floor jack and extra pair of hands.
