Default 5.13 gears from Northridge, 2 different packages

So i am finally ordering my 5.13 gears for my Rubicon... But on Northridge's site, he has the JK overhaul package for $550, and then something that just says Rubicon package for $565.... Am I missing something, the $550 set have a drop down Rubicon option.... Any ideas?

Chose Rubicon and 5.13 set.

Why are you going with the overhaul and not the install kit by the way?

When doing the gears you need to reshim and also the crush sleave for the pinion as well as its a good idea to due the seals at the same time.

Jeep has 12k miles on it, figured be safe go with complete overhaul kit, get all nwe parts, no need reuse the bearings.

I am also doing Superior Axle Tube seals at the same time.. Figured it couldnt hurt and there not that expensive.... Cant wait for my 5.13's

I reused mine. They will be fine if your Jeep is low mileage.

No one can argue that's it's a bad idea to replace the bearings, but in real life, pinion and carrier bearings should last 100,000+ with 2 or 3 oil changes.
