Drive shafts out,x- member off.

Goofy thing is that all 6 bolts are off, linkage off, and tcase is apart from the trans. I just can't get if off the studs far enough to drop it. Grrrr.

Have all the bolts off. The tcase comes away from the trans but will not slip off the studs. Tcase is in neutral and so is trans. Hmmm.

They had the hardest time figuring out how to take out my Aussie Locker. Do you guys think the locker created a harder install situation?

I had a 25 mile drive home-interstate and town driving. I stopped twice for 10 min. to let things cool. I thought three teeth was a bit aggressive, too.

Had my 4.56s installed. Guy told me he had to shave down one tooth in the front d30 to get the pinion pin in. He said he had to shave 3 down in the 8.25 in the rear. Gear whine was loud in the rear. Half way home I get a worse noise from the rear only when I'm on the gas. When I roll to a...

I understand the concept of shaving part of the teeth, or tooth, from the ring. I'm much calmer now. Thanks.

Mine required a 6 degree shim, too. I just installed some boomerang shackles and I wonder if they changed the diff angle. No vibes yet. I guess we'll see.

I installed the OME 3.5" leafs on my 99 XJ. IIRC, I could use the same OEM pins. However, I needed a longer pins because I was using degree shims to line up my pinion and SYE driveshaft. Hope that helps.

Wow, couldn't believe the difference in ride quality on my DD with these things. I hit the same bumps on the way to and from work every day and really notice a smoother ride. I have OME 3.5" leafs in the back. With the stock shackles there was really "no place to go" for the leafs when they...
