It will be lots easier and maybe much less expensive to swap the complete axle assemblies. You will need new carriers, unless you have a C8.25 rear. Setting up gears is not for the Novice and can cost $500 or more per axle to have it done.

you can swap the whole axle assembly, but you can also throw the gears into your exhisting housings, but you need to know how to do gear work to do it properly. i would just use the 4.10 housings if you're going to go that route.

it is easier to just swap the guts IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! the parts will go in ..... just make sure you have a dana35 rear....i have not seen a 4banger with the 8.25 rear

all of ours are high pinion (HP) until 2000 they went to a low pinion front..................simply refers to the location of the pinion in the front pumpkin..(there is more to it but i'm tired and going to bed lol)
