It all depends on how you use the truck. If you're going to do some heavy hauling or off roading Yukon gears would be the better direction. I put them in my Rock Crawler and they've been great for 9 years. Stock gears are great for most normal use.

If you can afford it get the better gears. Why risk the potential for failure.

If you even have the potential of mud slinging and running in the dirt and bouncing, get the better gears. That is the action that will blow teeth off a stock ring gear. Good luck with the install.
