Not to be an Great Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley Moogley, but this all depends on what you want to do and the area you want to do it in...Me in the mountains of WA. have 4.56:1 gears which work flawlessly for the job they have in front of them...

BJ's has a good deal on spicer/dana gears. 210 for 4.89 gears with install kits and pinion bearings.
They also carry genuine gear ones for 125 a set but without the bearings or shims(master install kits are 85 and include all bearings)

Unless it says Dana/Spicer on the box, and get ready to pay more for that brand, you can bet they are made in China. Now that's not a bad thing, I have a set of Yukon's and they are working great!  |

+1 on Yukon. Installed many sets while overhauling diffs and never had any issues.
