aside from being mathematically perfect I have a bit of rubbing when at full lock... perhaps the isolators fixed that?? I know the .375" spacers might not have cured it... but???

the rubbing is the inner side wall of the tires on the lower links.


you would need a lot less backspace to get away from that, or i could make the stops longer

carier break is 3.73, so if it is numerically less than 3.73 you will need a carrier and install kit


or get a used 4.10 axle

used stuff is way faster to put in with some thought.

been looking... but for the amount of time its in 4wd i figued the re gear would be faster and cheaper...

I sunk tons of parts into that front end recently.. ball joints, u joinds, hubs, brakes etc...

I already have a Timken Master kit... just would need carrier and gears...

dunno.. still looking for an easy swap option as well..

i just ment used axle to pull the gear set out of, not swap the axle...


much easier to tweak a pattern in a different housing than start from fresh with all new parts.




Also, if you want new studs pressed in for the spacers, we should do that at the same time.

this guy can get picked up right?

Need to throw away some counter tops this weekend...

Might swap the MJ for the XJ so I dont have to get a ride and perhaps a new sensor for the FI and winch install if you dont mind easy stuff..
I can bring down with your parts and fluids..
