not as long as you get the installation kit with bearings new crush sleeve and all that, im am hopefully this next weekend getting 3.73s installed and am getting all the fluids all everything for a good price and someone who knows exactly what they are doing. only thing i am worried about is my gas mileage, i think as long as i dont go WOT and leave it in D instead of OD like i do then i will be fine. cant help but leave it in third on the highway to much fun lol.

Thats a nice jump, my personal best has been an old G-body going from 2.59 to a 4.56. The smile on that customers face was priceless!

Forget the crush sleve. Get a solid spacer.
