What materials are needed to regear?
I will be putting 33's on my 2002 XLT. I plan to get some 4.10's to compensate for lost power. I've been looking around trying to find what I need, but I'll admit, I'm a little confused. Am I looking for a ring and pinion set, because that's all I can find? Also, will I need to get a new differential case, or will what I have be fine? By the way, it's 8.8 that currently has 3.55's. Thanks!

I've done it and you can actually get gears from a number of places. I have Yukon in mine and so far they're fine. Best to get a "master rebuild kit" and new axle bearings while you're at it.
I posted some notes from my experience in this topic:

I was rebuilding an FX4 L2 axle, which is more like an Explorer axle (31 spline) -- but the ideas are the same.

Sorry, it wasn't there. Here's the guy I used -- he was very helpful and his prices were good.

Yep, but I'd add axle bearing and seals as well. The rebuild kit does the center section, but not the "ends". You can get them locally at a parts store if you like.
It can be even less than a couple of hundred -- depends on the installer; but you shouldn't have to pay more than that, for sure. Guys on here say they got it done for $50 -- but I'm suspicious of the work quality, lol.
