i want to get some 4.10's where do i get them and how do i no what size my axle is. i have 01 f350

[Raul@Stealth Automotive]

your rear end is either 10.25 or 10.5... both pretty much same size..... you can get aftermarket gears or get ford OEM 4.10

what would you recomend with the gears.

[Raul@Stealth Automotive]

in brand or gear ratio? i dont think its worth it unless your gonna do the install.. cause your gonna have to regear both axles and usually they charge 400-600 per axle just for labor to install them..... but as brand their are a couple i would recomend... either genuine gear or precision grear

sweet thanks. i would do it my self but i dont no if you any specialty tools and i have never done it before. but i deffinatly wont take it to the dealer. but i have some one who could put them in for pretty cheap i just need to figure out how to get them and how much

I have used Richmond Gears in a coulple of Builds, they are strong as @#(%! Don't know if they make any gears for the Super Duty's though...worth looking into...

Contact Randy's Ring and Pinion they have everything you will need and they are very helpful. Depending on what tire size you have or plan on 4:10 might not be enough. In order to find out what you have now, there should be a axle code on the door jamb, tell us what that is and I will look it up. There should also be a metal tag on one of the bolts for the diff cover, tell me the numbers that are on the tag.
As for doing the job yourself, this is not something I would attempt without somebody being there who knows what they are doing. You can chew up some expensive parts real quick. I paid $1,200 in labor for front and rear on my old truck. I used Superior Gears and Timken bearings, be sure to change all the bearings while you are in there, it doesn't cost much more, Randy's will have a complete kit.
Good Luck
