Armor or recovery gear. I wouldn't put a BB on top of the lift.

I like the sound of skids or lockers. I just regeared to 4.56 a few weeks ago. If I went ARB in the rear will I have to regear again?

Not unless you change your tire size.

Sorta... The new gears you just put in will have to be set back up properly with the new carrier.. It's not just a bolt out, bolt in thing.. Need to reshim everything.. New crush sleeves, new fluid..

I know everyone's got a nut on for selectable lockers, but for the price of the ARB and installation you can do the lunchbox thing on both ends and have money left over..
