Default How to install 4.10's in G80?

I just bought a G80 (and yes I know a true LSD would be better but i didn't have the cash) and would like to step up the gears. How do you install the bigger gears like 4.10's 4.11's? And what other stuff must you buy to do the install?

I never done a gear swap but it can be pretty complicated if you dont know what you're doing. Easiest way would be call local shops to see how much they charge for a gear swap. If seen my local shops due'em for $250-550 just call around and see if that'll benefit you.

I like to do my own work on my vehicles but messing with the rear is something I don't want to do.
