Just regear 4.88 and have ECGS doit.

 

im broke after buying skids

 

Fyi, its $60, and we can borrow the tool

 

+ arb lockers

 

yeah i know that one is only 60 but gears are like 2k lol

 

I didn't say gears. That was @Darkgoatracer

 

i dont think id be able to do that job alone, dont trust myself with it lol

 

You need other tools. 36mm socket for the axle nut, pry bar, plastic baggy, different sized races, etc

 

im debating not doing the diff drop until im ready to do that, id rather not add more wear and tear to it until its time to swap it out. i may just throw the front skid on for now.

 

doing the diff drop doesnt mean that you will have vibes.. or it might?

 

it will change the angle of the drive shaft that puts more stress on it i believe, so it would accelerate any wear on the needle bearing

 

Yes but part of the game with a lift

 

right but if i can prolong it until i can knock it out i think thats the best move. its only 4 bolts, could knock it out whenever i decide to do ecgs bushing.

 

@eimkeith are you working on anything for 2nd gen LCAs ? Sorry to keep bugging you on instagram

 

not at the moment, are they cracking like the first gen stuff? - also, are they the same as 4th gen T4rR LCAs? (because I have a pair of those at the shop I could look at)

 

I don't think they are cracking. I also don't think they are the same as the 4th gens. Maybe @Arcticelf would know that

 

I think the arms are the same, but the bushings for the alignment cams are different. Like the 2nd vs 3rd gen taco.

 

Come up to my place, I have the tool, and it's an easy job.

 

Don't bother with a diff drop at all. The risk of putting the diff closer to rocks is far greater an any benefit you'll see from 1/2 degree of CV angle.
