Exactly what the title says? Whats the best brand of gears for my axle!! (d60). I know its hard to beat original spicer gears but what about aftermarket ones. Whats good? Whats not? Why?

Personally I like Precision since I've never seen or heard of any breaking... Except stuff like 10 bolts running 44's... I run precisions front and rear with no problemo's.

Also have heard a few good things about Motive gears, bit cheaper and seem to be good quality but I haven't personally ran them.

I broke a few teeth off a set of 4.88 precision Dana 60 R&P. I was in reverse in the sand with the front end slightly hopping. Don't think it was an installation problem either. heres a picture of the pinion next to my very thrashed 10 bolt 3.73 pinion. 10 bolt vs. 60 (http://community.webshots.com/photo/32472340/58935053uTHJRA)
