4WHEELPARTS HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON GENUINE GEARS. ZOOM'S FROM O'REILLY'S ARE HALF WAY CHEAP. OTHER THAN THAT BUY STRANGE OR RIGHMOND IF YOU GOT MONEY.
MY ONE I AM PUTTING IN MY TOW VEHICLE IS A YUKON GEAR GOOD PRICE FOR ME ANYWAYS.

Yea but that's for ring and pinion. He said he tore up spider gears. Personally i haven't found any that come with a warrenty.
Besides i didn't think fords had enough power to break anything.  Just go to a junk yard, and find another front end, buy it, then you will have spare parts.
Or start shelling out the money and buy the after market parts, that Steve was talking about.
We usually go through a set of spiders every year

Ive heard people talk that you dont really want to run a spool in the front. they never said the pros and cons of it tho. any ideas on that?

LEAVE YOUR FRONT END OPEN!!!!! unless you want to start fixing your frontend almost all the time, leave it open. put the mini spool in the rear. thats what I ran in my old 75 halfton, and it worked great!!!!! stock spiders work good, I ran stock when i had 44 boggers on my truck, and only tore 1 set up, in 3 years. and if you can, and when you can afford it, try to get aftermarket stuff for your truck, it pays for itself in the long run!!!!! just my 2 cents.....

MOST STOCK TRUCKS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MOTOR TO KEEP BOTH SIDES TURNING WITH A OPEN FRONT AND I ALWAYS RAN MY FRONT LOCKED AND IF IWAS GOING TO RUN STOCK AGAIN I WOULD LOCK IT UP STILL RANDY IS RIGHT YOU WILL FIX IT EVERYTIME YOU HIT THE WALL OR SOMETHING  BUT WHEN IT'S DEEP MUD IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO WIN I MEAN HAVE FUN
