Rick's gears are maufactured by Richmond. they are very respected and produce a high quality product. I wouldn't spend any more on J's.

J's are nothing more than rebadged Kia gears. same as Rick's. (the 4.44 and 4.77)

the 4.57 are Richmond gears. far better quality.

I only know basic about the car, what do the Rick's or J's gears upgrade? Speed? power? different rpm? High end or low end power? Please let me know because I always see posts about the 4.77 gears but what is the benefit of this upgrade?

don't buy J's gears, that's just silly. Get the 4.77 at hardtopguy.com
