    Re-geared this morning. So far so good. Left Santa Barbara at 5:30 this morning, 3:30 now enjoying my final cool down. Plus I figured out how to get better gas mileage. Drive like A grandpa. I think I am the first of the 2nd batch to be finished. 6C607BF6-19C3-41EC-B4B3-966C710A3D14.jpg

    Did anyone go with solid pinion spacers instead of the crush sleeves for their diffs?

    I’ve read up a bit on the benefits of using these, just don’t know if they actually provide enough benefit to be worth it. When I asked Miguel about it, he said it’s an upgrade over the crush sleeves but most people don’t go with them.

    Did he indicate how much more expensive the spacer would be?

    I would think you just have to pay for the parts. $100-$200 I think, off the top of my head.

    Sorry, forgot to update the group! I went yesterday to get this done. They got me in and out once there was space in the shop. No leaks driving from Riverside to San Diego. They replaced the seal at no charge. I'll report back once I finish my 500 mile break in, I'm half way there already with the back and forth driving. :D

    Yelp reviews if you guys have gotten your gears done and are happy! Or if something went wrong and it got fixed.

    Group 2, got my appointment for 3rd week in July!

    Did anyone else upgrade to REM Polished so you don't have to break in?

    Anyone having squeaky leaf after regear? I know squeaky leafs are pretty common occurrence and it probably has nothing to do with the gears but my Icon RXT leafs started squeaking like shit a day after gear install..

    Does anyone know if I can use 4LO for an extended period of time during break in? I don't want to mess up the front gears/diff. Same thing goes for using the rear E-Locker.

    Sir, Only use 4 Hi or Lo off road, ie non pavement. E locker has nothing to do with break in.
