    Unfortunately, yes. Only way to clear the frame without spending a lot more money on LT. I got an update yesterday that they've been machined. Hopefully next week they get shipped.

    Don't tempt me. I want ARBs front and rear and you know it. I'll buy a new ARB rear if it comes to it.

    Not even joking, I would actually give you all 3 of my diffs if your rear diff is actually fixed, the front diff is in good shape, and you're being serious. I talked to ECGS about sending in my extra front diff and they said they would, so what stopping them from taking a complete rear e-locker.

    Just curious why you would go with a 16 in rim over 17 when 17 has a larger selection of tires in the bigger size you go? Especially when your planning 40s and tons one day it sounds.

    Do 5.29s! Especially if you plan on 35s. Unbelievably happy I made the choice for 5.29s over 4.88s

    I know someone who grenades a TJM and they had an ARB rear and it's been fine ever since. I also don't think TJM makes a diff for the front of these 1st gens.

    I've read a lot about how guys who get 4.88s wish they had 5.29s instead.

    Because 35s are the biggest I'd go with stock IFS. 16s because this is the last set of tires I'll own before SAS. Dana 60/Sterling's are 8 lug vs 6 lug for Toyota.

    No pictures because shit is on order. I'll take a picture of the rims when I get them next week... Hopefully.

    I'm leaning towards 4.88s because of the RPMs. Might supercharge my truck as well just to get a little more power, but I don't know.

    I do, but I'm still very much leaning towards 4.88s. Worse case scenario, I join boosted life and supercharge my truck.
