I am trying to get this all straight, so that I get the work done I want, and I'd like it documented here for other 100 owners so they can do the same later. No un-necessary commentary, no debating anything else. This thread is just about doing the ARB/gears for the front and rear differentials for the 100 series with 4.88 gears.
Who I want to hear from on this thread:
Slee Off Road
ATS4x4.COM
JT Ring & Pinion
All I want is facts, no debating, no dragging anyone's vehicle in for comparison... Just the facts on what needs to be done to a 100 for 4.88 gears, and ARB air lockers to strengthen the diffs up to handle 35" mud tires.
First, I heard Darren mention this in another thread:
I take it that there is a machined spacer to be installed etc on this ARB modification for strength. I am trying to remember what it replaces that is normally OEM.......

We have been doing this mod for years (ARB), including the solid pinion spacer mod, and with well over 300 + in the field most broken before they came to us, we havent had one back broken, though we have had 3 back with broken cv's.
We do the same mods on the rear diff too.
