Parts parts and more parts, I went with ARB lockers front and rear along with the twin compressor. Even if I did not do axles this compressor will be on every OFFROAD vehicle I own
Shortly after the axle install I went and bought the artec trans cross member and 3 link brackets, measured and ordered wide open designs 2-1/4” 7075 aluminum links and Barnes Heims. It’s crazy how much smoother the front rides with the 3 link
Next we’re wheels the steel rims on Goodyear MTRs never balanced well not blaming the tires as I know a lot of my friends run them with great success. Waited 16 weeks for trail ready beadlocks to retool the HD17s
Any issue with the rear upper control arm axle mount spacing? I’m doing this right now and had to cut off the locating tabs to move the mounts in so I’d have clearance for the control arm hardware. And could you post a pic of where you drilled and tapped for the rear ARB? I have a plan for where I’ll put it but curious to see where others did as well.
Trail ready beadlocks installed 8x170 bolt pattern rear uses a 2” wheel spacer / adapter to closer match the front and rear axle width
Wheels are wrapped in 37x13.5x17 cooper STT pros love this tire
