Which brand, where to get, what additional parts needed, things to do while I'm in there, tips and tricks, etc.

Thanks
I'll leave the gear "branding" alone but if you're doing the 4.10 ratio "for sure" you need Marc's speedometer correction gear set. You might as well do those "NOW" so that they're in hand. Regardless of "branding" I believe I'd make sure I bought a gear set that included a 226mm ring gear vs. the 216mm stock. You may have to massage the housing or the cover OR maybe both but it would I believe the preferred.
