Anyone done this axle before?
I'm getting ready to swap in some 4.10 gears and a Spartan locker into mine. I just completed the rear, new bearings etc. The setup kit was about $150. I'm trying to avoid buying that kit for the front, since its only used part time, only in 4wd.
Any advice? The gears/carrier I have to put in there has a bunch of shims with it. The gears I'm pulling out will have some as well. First item on my list will be to build a case spreader. I don't feel like fighting the diff in/out. A pair of setup bearings would be nice, but I am not going to spend that much money on a set.
I did the setup in the rear with no issues. Got the pinion depth nailed on the first try. I got a great pattern as well. Had exactly .007 backlash (spec is .005-.009)
