Searches reveal very old threads , so here goes :

I'm re-gearing from 4,11 to 4,56
Which gears should I get ? . Durability , quality etc

1. Yukon
2. Motive
3. Precision
4. Sierra

I have to import to Africa and since it is a lot of effort I might as well get the best. No need to get an supplier that ships international as I have a local who will bring it to me .

One vote for Precision.

according to precision all the gears, at least 4.11's, are built by the same manufacturer.

I would say yukon or the yukon value gears I have broken a lot of stuff around my value gears that are made by yukon but never had any trouble out of the gears themselves but if it is going to be daily driven then by all means yukon even if you have to wait

i've heard that Yukon doesn't always make our ring and pinions in house. Since there is relatively little demand for this size they farm out the work... and quality can be hit and miss.

hows that one for the rumor mill...

Motive gear has always been good, we use it a lot down here when regearing for 9" convserions. Well made and quiet

Thanks , seems I will be safe with either Motive or Precision . ( they cost the same as well )

A quick search of the advertisers on MUD reveals:
Downey offroad endorses Motive
Marlin Crawler endorses Yukon
Cruiser Outfitters Sierra and Yukon is offered
JustDiffs sell : Motive,Precision and Yukon
