    Not sure. I'll check it out on my way home tonight.

    70 MPH is 2400 ish RPM though.

    That's with BFG 255/85/16 33" tires.

    I regeared to 4.56's to accommodate the 33's and the added weight of the winch, sliders, armor, tools, etc.

    The cheapest, and easiest, way to do this is to buy the Diffs built and ready to bolt in from ECGS.

    For example. My local off road shop wanted $740 per axle to do the Regear. That's just labor...

    Short answer? Too much and too many :D

    I'd have to look, but I believe it was right around $3200 with the lockers and compressor.

    I didn't do it all at the same time. The rear I did Friday night after work. That only took a couple of hours. Cake. I'd had the rear out before though.

    The front I worked in over the weekend between other things. Then, I lost time screwing around with the stripped head on the tube bolt, and getting the front driveshaft to go back in.

    THEN, I had to get help to get the front diff back in. I couldn't manipulate the jack and the diff at the same time.

    So, I'm not really sure exactly how long it took for the front. Too long though...

    Well, I screwed up... :facepalm:

    ECGS just called to let me know that I sent my front core back to them with the stub shaft still in place... :annoyed::annoyed:

    Can't believe I did that. Looks like I'll be pulling that passenger side axle out again. I'm pretty sure the stub shaft can be installed with the diff in the truck though.

    I'm thinking that if I leave the rear and drivers side diff mounts in place, pull the mounting bracket off the passenger side, and remove the ADD tube, I'll have room to install the stub shaft.

    I'll see I guess.

    Yup, it'll work a LOT better now. On a good note, I'm getting really good at changing axles...
