    Its a 2door Sidekick.I m also have the FJ62 driveshafts.One (the short one) was DC and Im using that on the rear.I have double t-cases (Sidekick and Samurai behind it using OTT kicker 3 adaptor),so the front t-case output goes more to the rear than stock,so I might be able to get away with the...

    For 4,88's no grinding is mentioned,only for the 5,29s. As for the 5,29 ,the tech dpt sent me a photo where it shows that the grinding is done on 3 of the ring gear teeth ,where only in one tooth seems to be done some serious grinding. If you want I have the photo. But I dont like the idea of...

I have some difficulties about...
