    They have been good for me so far but I’ve heard after they wear they lose grip pretty bad. But I’ve had no complaints so far.

    Have to give a massive thank you to @JBTacoma for working with me to get this thing together for 12 plus hours. I owe you big time!:bowdown::rasta::cheers:

    Also thanks @InfernoChalupa for taking the time and coming in clutch with the drill! Couldn’t have mounted the driveshaft tonight with out you!

    Welp got a transfercase and front diff now. Crossmember was perfect. Everything is perfectly inline! Ran into a couple of hiccups but nothing that can’t be taken care of! But she’s almost there!

    I think I saw where you've got a bit more clearance over stock crossmembers...…...Will you still be able to run full skids if wanted?

    I’ve got an extra inch or so over stock 4x4. Should work I don’t think an inch would change it that much

    The only thing that really concerns me is the ECGS bushing install.

    Just get an arb and that doesn’t matter :D! It’s not bad as long as you have the tool.

    I have the tool and a new axle seal. I still need to get either a 37mm socket or a piece of PVC to smack it in with. One of the guys from Colorado uses the PVC pipe and said he has done a bunch with no problems.

    I honestly have no clue what that ECGS bushing does and that an ARB would get rid of it :rofl:

    Those little needle bearings get messed up inside the diff when you’re driving around and can cause pretty annoying vibrations and sounds when just in 2wd. The bushing is just a solid sleeve and eliminates those needles. Thus no more issues. The arb how it’s designed with the diff it eliminates the needle bearing as well.
