1. Hardtopguy sell the 4.77 and he will build a diff with them too.
2. We only sell the OEM parts to customers that have purchased gear sets.
3. Changing just the ring and pinion is not a job for the Honda dealer and their techs. Most of them have never set a rear diff. All Honda's are FWD. You will need to find someone that build rears in your area. Say a Jeep aftermarket shop. You know, they build rock or mud Jeeps. They always change the ring and pinions on them.
Of all of the failed installation we have seen over the years, Honda and Acura dealers have done the worst installs. They may have the info in the manual, but it takes some skill, and that they don't have.

p.s you will have to have custom shims made, or just go to the local diesel truck service facility, the kingpin shims for front ends will work perf.
