Get the US standard gears from Rons Machine... Set them up right and save a few bucks. I've never had an issue and installed several sets.

is there an ABS reluctor in these diffs? I didnt think so...I thought it was off the axle shafts kinda behind the drum?
Ive been looking at lots of different gear sets now that it seems nobody has had luck with motive and ive seen a couple mention "except ABS"

Shipping should be free from rons. Standard shipping is usually free then itll give you the options to upgrade shipping.

If a rear differential has a reluctor on it, the carrier matters, not the gears themselves. And our trucks don't have reluctors in the center section. They have VSS in the trans/transfer case and ABS wires outboard on the shafts.
