I need some installation instructions on installing the Dana 30 ring and pinion gears. I need specifications, such as how many preload shims to install etc.

I really appreciate someone helping me with this. Thanks.

Check out the Dana/Spicer service manual sticky above...

Every thing you need should be in there.

Each case, carrier and gear set is a little different so the number and thicknesses of the shims needed to get a proper gear pattern is always different/there is not a fixed answer.

The gear setup is similar to that done in a D44 in the Extreme 4x4 program here; (But of course it is never as easy as they make it look on TV).
