Preferred Gear Manufacturer?

I've been toying with the idea of installing 4.56 gears in my truck. I've seen a few names like Precision, Motive, and Yukon, but not much feedback about them. What gear manufacturers do ya'll like? Thanks,

Mike

My number one choice is U.S.Gear - Torq-Line series. I've also had good luck with Precision and others here have as well.

I had a set of 4:30 Yukon gears in my truck and they were noisy. Don't know if it was the gear or the install but I understand taller gears tend to be noisy.
When I took them out they looked good and I sold them to someone who didn't care about the noise.
I now have 4:10 Ford Motorsport gears with no problems but I don't think they make 4:56's.

I just put precision gears in my truck and they are great, NO noise and with 4.56's it's like having a new truck, lots of low end grunt
