I got about a good a pattern as I could hope for with gearsets these days:

I always take final setup photos and show my shim stacks, just in case I ever need to do a warranty claim. It also makes a handy reference should I need to regear it again for any reason.

Gotta love living in a small town... I took the hubs down to the local machine shop to get the tone rings installed. The guy had them done in less than an hour and wouldn't even charge me for it!

Time to soak these in some Rust Killer and then get the new bearings installed. Once done with that, I think it's just a matter of getting the ABS sensor holes cut and verifying clearances. I've been waiting on Fusion4x4 to have a holiday sale, but with all the crazy tariff stuff going on right now, I figure it's best to stop waiting and just get things ordered.
