Pretty sure Jeep pinion shims will work, but NOT the carrier shims (unless you already have some carrier shims, you'll need those too).

$50 actually sounds pretty reasonable for a TTB D35 setup kit. I've seen them over $100, even without being a master kit (no bearings, just shims).

You can get a pinion shim kit for $12. Or you can beg a set of shims from a shop that does gear swaps and return the ones you don't use.

Seriously? You're gonna spend $100 because you can't find the Yukon $12 shim kit? Or because you're too lazy to ask for some from a shop that probably has a mountain of them?

Or maybe I misunderstood...

Were can I get a yokon kit for a dana 35 with the pinion shims and carrier shims. 60 is the cheapest I can find for a dana 35, I have yet to be able to find the measurements on here to cross match to another rear.
The 8.8s are all the same I think, can find them pretty cheap.
And on the shops around close most of this small town has closed.

Ok need this cleared up I have seen people talk about these cheaper kits to do this yet have seen a part number or link. Closest I can find is pinion shims but no carrier shims. Assume I do need the carrier shines as I think the 5.13 ring is thicker. The 8.8 I can find pretty cheap
