For those of you who installed the OEM 4.083 ring and pinion... what size shims were required?
I've been told by multiple domestic installers that if the gears have tight tolerances (like being OEM), the original shims will typically work.

i may just get the gears installed w/o lsd. cant find the quaife lsd. is this a serious mistake? (i have base model). or i may just find a stock vlsd pumpkin to swap the gears into. either way without lsd upgrade the install should be about 1k...with labor... it seems. most people spend this on exhaust...this mod is more of a monster!

Either way though, the gears are an awesome mod for sure

Either way though, the gears are an awesome mod for sureI'd personally be more interested in a 3.9 because my highway mileage sucks enough as it is, not looking to buy anytime "soon." But end of the summer should have a little liquidity to play with.
