4:88's it is!! With ARB lockers:drool:
So now, am I better off sending my diffs to Marlin Crawler or Inchworm to set up the gears and lockers?, or should I try it myself? I'm not very comfortable with any shops here doing the work.
I've never set up gears or installed lockers, but I am thoughtful and meticulous. Is this a job that requires experience? If not, I may be able to save about $800 on labor & shipping. If These guys can decrease my chance of mechanical failure, I'll probably just send it off.
Certainly there's a reputable diff and transmission shop you could bring it into... That was my choice. Make sure you find a shop that is an authorized ARB installer and you should have no worries. Swapping gears yourself isn't rocket science, but far from a job to tackle without someone experienced helping and teaching IMO. Just remember, a failed diff is one of the few things on a vehicle that can send you out of control and possibly at freeway speeds. That's of course a worst case scenario, but damaging a R&P because you got the spacing wrong ain't fun or cheap either. I'd just about pay any price to have someone else deal with the gear oil any way... can't stand that stuff. Gears are one of the very few things I leave to the pros.
