Title: UK suppliers
Post by: Darrenmcd1 on April 21, 2014, 09:19:33 AM: Folks,

Anyone know of UK suppliers of ring and pinion sets? Looking for 4.88 Dana 44 rear (preferably thick so no need for new carrier) and 4.88 Dana 30 front with 3.73 and up carrier.

I'm impatient and don't want to wait for US delivery.

Thanks

Spoke with the guy briefly and he's quoting £750 all in. Will get some more details and do some quick google research before final decision.

Cheers!

Jeep chrysler parts on ebay. actually looking again was about 40% cheaper. I doubt though you will get other more bespoke parts much cheaper elsewhere..
