I did my own gears. Not a big deal, just teach yourself how to set for backlash. Get/borrow a gauge. Not a big deal. I had 4.10s and then broke three teeth like you did off my ring gear, now I run 3.73s. Ive been ripping on these with sticky street tires for almost 3 months now, no issues.

ive been searching and i think im going with the 3.73 but the car actually had 3.11s on the car when i had botten it. i called up my cousin who is a ford powertrain specialist so hes worked with the worst cars so hes willing to help me out.
