    Hey folks, I got my lift and tires installed. Now I wanna regear and add lockers. I have a ‘14 DCLB with 3” lift and 255/85r16. Im thinking ARB front and rear with 4.56. It’s not a daily driver but I do drive on the highway to get to the fun. Anyone got any other ideas? Also, anyone know of a good shop in the Bay Area to do the install?

    Did you lift it knowing you were going to be doing a front bumper? You're gonna need 700# springs up front to accommodate an ARB bumper, if you don't already have them.

    I don't think he's referring to an ARB bumper, I think he's talking about ARB lockers for the front and rear.

    If it's not a daily, do 4.88's and also regear your transfer case to go lower on your 4lo.

    I’m not a rock crawler more like a mall crawler with the weekend trips to the mountains and down to Baja. I live in the Bay Area Cali and there’s a lot of Highway between me and the fun.

    Thx Marcus, I talked to Cliff today. He seems like a strait up guy. He told me he doesn’t do gears anymore but knows people who do.

    ECGS has a thing that increases the 4lo ratio, pretty much crawling.

    Right, I sent a message asking about our chain driven case. Maybe they have something that is not listed yet.

    I use 4 low and 2 low a lot. In reality, a crawl box would probably suit my needs better, but I really like this idea.
