Thanks for the input. Don’t know what I was thinking during reassembly and how I just remembered or thought that I didn’t thoroughly clean almost two weeks later. Looks like I’ll be tearing back into it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought the diy eBay special that looks like the jcr one. I had my rear locker blow up going up Cadillac hill on the rubicon last summer and had to get towed by a LS swapped tj on tons through a uphill rock garden. At one point I got stuck on the side of a large boulder and the tj kept...

Hello everyone, I recently installed a spartan locker in my d30 and just thought about one of the install procedures that I possibly rushed. I’ve put maybe 100 miles on since install. When I reinstalled the ring gear, I used red loctite and torqued to 55ftlbs in a star pattern. However I did...

Good to know. Maybe just needs to break in fully. Doesn’t do it all the time but most of the time even off the gas it will clunk pretty damn loud. Going wheeling this weekend so hopefully that will help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Long time since writing on here and have yet another questions regarding the no slip. Not that long ago I had one break in my truck, and powertrax/motive took care of me with top notch customer service. Now I had the new one installed with my new gears professionally in my rear axle. Has...

Makes sense. So move the shackle over and remove material from the bracket to allow the shackle to move upward? I was thinking about running a shorter shackle to allow more arc in the leaf. Here is a pic a ride height, looks pretty flat compared to how those leafs were before the bracket. Not...

I thought the same but the shackle contacts the bracket in the next hole over. Maybe need to run a straight instead of boomerang style shackle? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Much stiffer compared to with no relocation brackets. Ride was great without them. But wanted to add them to gain a little more travel. Might just remove them and sell em. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone installed new re 4.5 leafs and rough country’s shackle relocation brackets with my re boomerang shackles and my ride is much stiffer. Not sure if it’s supposed to feel a little stiffer and want to know if this will ruin my new springs being that they are forced to lay flatter...

I'd feel completely confident on 31's. I have 4.88s and 35s. I really want to run one up there, but might stress me out on the trail. Saving up for some jkur dana 44s.

Well would be derailed in a good way. I always hear about a locked/geared dana 30 breaking axle shafts. I couldn't afford a fancy selectable so it would be a lockrite for me if I were to do it.

more info on the setup. running cavfabs high clearance 1 ton heim steering setup. tie rod under the knuckle. Definitely can see steering binidng, will check next time I'm at the shop. RE double shear track bar. 1 inch home brew rear bump stop extension I made out of aluminum stock. I...

Hey everyone, just installed rubicon expresses long arm upgrade and it flexes more, but not quite what I was expecting. Not saying it’s the kit. Likely other limiting factors in my suspension. Current set up is zones 4.5 coils, re long arms, bilstein 5100(BIL24-185943) fronts, bilstien 5100...

Good news. Erik at motive gear gave me a call today and said they will be taking care of my damaged parts. Incredible customer service and I will continue to purchase their products knowing that my investments will be backed. I did a lottt if research before purchasing this locker and I’ve...

Thanks for the response. Maybe I got one of those if that was an issue. I bough the locker from amazon. I spoke with them last week and they said they were looking into what they can cover. Haven’t heard back, tried calling Friday and the person working my case was out and said I’d hear back...
