Gears

Hey all,
I'm looking at puchasing gears for my Dana 80 DRW and was wandering if anyone has any knowledge of Yukon Gears. I know that some brands are bad about excess noise so I'm curios as to the Yukon gears. Can anyone help me with determining a good set to purchase? Also how about KOYO bearings? Do they hold up to the abuse we put through our trucks?
Thanks Henry

Do a google, there's all kinds of gear maker's, Yukon are good gear's, also replace the carrier bearings, never heard of koyo, also make sure who ever sets the carrier back knows what they are doing!!

I run Yukon gears. They're good quality.

I just wish the shop that put them in the first time did it correctly. Sucks to have a rear end rebuilt simply because the technician can't figure out how to install a clutch pack, bearings, and set the gear lash.
