Rear End Rebuild - Upgrade?

[papabearsc]

I've sourced a used rear end for my 2004 Series Cart ($75 with a SEPEX motor!!) and am going to rebuild it for use in my lifted hunting cart. I'm running Alltrax and Plum Quick and 25" Barrage tires on a 7" Rhox BMF lift.

My plan is to send the carrier to Plowman (unless there's a better option???) and also to replace all bearings/seals/plugs while I'm at it.

Is it worth upgrading the bearings to something a little more expensive/better quality, or are standard bearings okay? I'd love to add a bit of "power" through less friction...

Anything else to do/upgrade while it's out and apart?

Thanks

I like the Plowmans unit too, but this is just another option.

I put a Limited slip differential in my 91 Marathon, works great. I got mine from a damaged RVX rear end, much less $$$. you can certainly feel the difference when driving it. I would spend money on good bearings.

Well, I got all the parts, and just ordered a bearing kit from eBay.

I tried my local bearing distributor and after freight and all to get bearings was up over $140 so that idea got scrapped. I'll spend some time and see if I can find some upgraded ones online.
