Yeh BBM stocks em, best mod ever for a sierra.
If youre not mechanically minded, the instructions are shite, but saying that if youre not mechanically minded you shouldnt be stripping youre transfer anyway.

If you find a list of tools to get before you start, safety warnings, 6 pages of plain english, step by step instructions with detailed photos and torque settings to be inadequate, then I'd suggest ' not mechanically minded' is an understatement.

Liam told me even I could understand them, So I think the instructions must be alright.

Be sure to use those terms when you buy, I am sure they will give you a huge discount

Theyre pretty well priced gearing mate, you couldnt land em here for much less than that and they obviously buy in bulk. Ya cant give mates rates to everyone either, a living has to be made from the business.

Sorry couldn't resist
Yes the rockhoppers make a huge difference and they are a very worthwhile purchase. Good thing is they don't depreciate much like most car parts coz they're popular! That's as long as you dont break them!
