    Yes, both the front and rear diffs need to be regeared in a 4wd. If you had different ratios in the front and rear and engaged 4wd, things would most likely break.

    I’m not regearing, just raising the front about 1” so I’m doing this ECGS bushing and ran into some trouble a couple times, but all is good now. He was joking that I may have had to open the diff.

    Whichever the case, yes if you regear do both front and back for 4WD

    After this fiasco tonight, if I ever regear I’m taking it to a pro

    Yep. Shit gets expensive reallll quick. Especially because while the diff is apart, might as well add a locker, right? There's another $900+. For both diffs regeared and an ARB air locker in the rear is about $2,300 through ECGS.

    That's for two assembled differentials shipped to you from ECGS. You swap them in yourself and mail your two stock diffs back for a core refund.

    If you're adding a locker may as well SAS while you're in there.

    Everything has gone well up to this point. I really should have watched the videos more, could have saved myself a ton of time and energy.

    All is good, putting everything back together later

    The OEM bushing didn’t go out, a lot of members change it to the ECGS solid bushing even with a mild lift.

    All is going well, the new bushing is in.

    This spring came out which goes on the inside lip of the seal, anyone know do I need to put it back in? It’s kind of a bitch to put back in
