I have rockhoppers and haven`t had any problems with them yet. Have had them since around 1999 - 2000. Mine give 111% reduction, but thats for a hilux.

My brother inlaw is running rockhoppers in his GQ and loves em.

Marks do 2 different types of gears.
They have a 43% reduction (2.86:1)
or 85% reduction (3.743:1)

There both similar quality, havent heard any bad things about either. And if you do a search in the Nissan section. Both seem relatively easy to install.

i run BBM rockhoppers which are 83% reduction.

work fine, no dramas with them.

Marks are good also..... the biggest thing you need to check is that the kit you buy has a good set of instructions in them
makes life much easier when fitting them youself.

I guess they're both pretty much the same. I've been happy with the two sets that I've had.
