Well, it took some time. Being at the mercy of a friends spare time, I finally got the rest of my gears and front locker installed. See here for earlier post on getting rear gears done https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=110368&highlight=4.88 I am back on the road with both driveshafts. I really don't like the feel of the rig with one DS, it feels to light in the front/steering. I guess thats enough reason for me to stay away from the part time kit.

So anyway, I am now rolling 4.88 Yukons with an ARB front locker and Aussie rear locker, 315 Cooper Discoverer STT's, and itching to wheel. I've got a week & 1/2 to put some easy miles on it, drain/replace the diff oil, then head to Mesquite Nevada for the 30th annual Glitter Gulch Gambol. WooHoo! I'll see if I can't wrangle together some more data for the above linked thread during this trip.
 
Sounds like you are all set....until the next bug bites :)

You mean like the rear bumper thats already on order or the J's sittin on the floor in my garage and the Bilsteins I'm gonna have to get to go with them. And lets not forget the DC shafts that I'll need to turn my pinion up some, and the arms I'll need for the front to fix castor. Then there is always the hi-amp alternator and onboard welder that I'll just have to have....
