Wherever you get it, a sponsor or whatever, make sure it comes with timken bearings and absolutely nothing other. Mine came with **** bearings and grease instead of real paint. Spend an extra $4 and order a separate pack of real gear paint just to be sure. It is a must have. If you can swing just a little more, get a solid spacer instead of a crush sleeve. I bought my stuff at summit, at that time they only had nontimken kits and I learned this all the hard way.

82-whatever is what you need. I still haven't figured out why they cant get their **** straight dealing with year models.

Right about $20 and well worth it.
