373 gears in an 8:25 rear end

[darren509]

I have read a few articles and threads now w/ guy's running a 373 gear. Where can I get this gear for my 8-1/4 rear end ?

Yukon Gear has a 3.73 for an 8&1/4.

Good info as I didn't know anyone made 3.73's for the 8.25 rearend.

Here is a basic listing of what Randy's has.

Thanks !!!! Now, somebody told me that if I go any lower in gears past 3:55 that I will have to get a diffrent carrier. If so how much more are they.

[ehostler]

That's a good question, as the 8¼ does not have a removeable/swapable carrier. Give Randy's a call (it's toll free), as I am sure that they can give you all the answers to any question thaat you may have

Here's the 411 on the carrier situation as I just went through this with my Magnum; 2.56 and deeper ratios use the same carrier but there's a unique carrier for the 2.45 ratio.
