I am looking into purchasing new 3.73 gears for my car ( '97 5.0 swap) and was wondering who had good and bad experiences with whatr brands of gears? any advice or stories woiuld help as well as do I need a kit w/ shims etc. or just the crush sleeve, pinion nut, pinion bearing and speedometer gear? any advice appreciated.

i dont have a pic, and i am not at home (in iraq), is it safe to say that I have a 8.8 rearend? the car a originally '97 V-6. someone has told me before and i thought for sure it was 8.8 but what is the easy way to tell, if there is one?
thanks again
