all i want is 3.55 rear ends now i have 3.08 rear ends and they arent gonna work around here
also i forgot to ask in my 1987 manual the only rear ends listed are 2.73 3.08 3.55 4.10 does that mean that i could not put a set of 3.73 in it?
3.73 gears should be available for both axles from an aftermarket source. I am assuming that you have a half ton pickup seeing how it only has 3.08 gears right now. Summit lists a set of of 8.8 3.73 axle gears for $190.00 The Dana 44 front may be in the same price range for a set of gears. Summit does not list anything for Dana 44's.
i called the junk yards and they told me anywhere from 400- 650 depending on the place and those are for the 3.55 but they said be about the same no matter what i got. In you opinion what rear end should i get cuz around where i live when i hit a hill i die.

$400 to $600 would probably be for a whole axle. Do you want to and can you really spend that much? For $600 you could do gears front and rear and probably get bearings and seals in too for that price. This would not include labor if you do not want to do it yourself. You would still come out ahead though. Just think $600 per axle x2 is insane. You could find a whole donor truck for that much. In my opinion I would just change the gears. $1200 could greatly improve the stock axles on your truck.
