Not much used value in a used spool since the new prices are around $80, and shipping weight might really kill the price. You might want to advertise it locally on Craigslist to get the best price for you.

I bought a new Yukon Duragrip and a complete installation kit with everything to do the install for $500 (the Duragrip itself was $350) from a guy on another site that sells just about any rear end part there is. He has a shop that specializes in rear end parts and repair. He sells to us at cost. He recommends using differentials/carriers/posi units that use clutch plates (Yukon, Eaton, Strange and a bunch of others) instead of cones (Auburns) because clutch plate type units can be rebuilt. Where as the cone type units can't be, or can't be as effectively. He's a great guys and I highly recommend buying and listening to what he says. He helps all of us out over there. Let me know if you want his information. The other site is a great site too.
