looking for a recommendation on a good axle mechanic (phoenix area). After only a few outings with my lift and new 315 MT's the need for lockers is evident and is moving up on the priority list of mods. I'm thinking I'll use ARB air lockers, but how far does one go???
-Lockers- $2k for front and rear
-re-gear- while I'm in there I could just as well regear (not sure on ratio yet). $500 both axles.
-stronger axle components- is this recommended while I have it apart or not? My rig only has 130k miles and I'm not an extreme wheeler so probably not.
-Air compressor- $350 for a good set up that I can conceal mount (viar with tank). I think the extra money is worth it vs. a Puma which takes up a lot of cab space.
Soooo- i can install the air compressor- no problem. I'm a bit nervous about tearing into the axles. What do you recommend? I have done all mods myself to date, but this seems to be a bit more technical. Ideally i would find someone who has done it before and would let me shadow them/help in an effort to learn and keep cost down. Probably target getting this done in the next few months.
Thanks
