I have never done a gear swap, but if you do, it would be a good time to do bearings and just give it once over.

Indeed. Thanks for the axle! Super stoked. Got home at 1 and already tore it completely down. Boredom and anxiety got the best of me. lol This is the first time I've done a tear down in the bed of a truck. I'll keep you posted on how the rest goes.

One thing about bearings they may look good but if you have multiple bearings and all are worn just a little it can make a big difference All total.Just my 2 cents,while your there you might want to do them and get another 300,000.
