TrueTrac Eaton's Front and Rear
Putting in TrueTrac's front and rear this weekend, I already have new bearings and the TrueTrac's can I go ahead and press the bearings on like most of the diff's Ive done or does the JK's have shims between the bearing and the carrier, or do they shim behind the races like most of the ones Im used to doing??

Post up about how you like the TrueTrac's when you are all finished...I've been pretty much set on ARBs for a while, but am curious about some other locker set ups. The TrueTrac's seem pretty nice, and I am just wondering if they would be as hard on the R&P as ARBs...I plan on regearing to either 4.88s or 5.13s, and with those small teeth I am kind of torn on what lockers to go with. I don't want Detroits, I know that much. Buddy of mine had them on his TJ...great for a trail rig, but my JK is my dialy driver. SO yeah, post up about the TRueTracs when you can. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.

so far they are awesome, this is my wifes daily driver and they are exactly what I wanted, normal driving seems exaclty the same as stock to both of us, we had some heavy snow and Ice left over from last week, they work flawlessly, I backed into a little bit of packed Icy snow and watched, it spun for a second and then locked in and came right out of it, I did test the one wheel in the air, and found if your good with a standard, or have an automatic, you can drag the brake and get them to lock in, dont plan on being in that situation too often though......overall bang for the buck is a def 10 in my book.

Any update on these on front and rear? I am trying to decide between a single ARB in the rear vs. True-Trac's all the way around. I am re-gearing to 4.88's and figure I at least need new carriers so why not put in the LSD's.
Anyone out there replaced the stock Trac-loc LSD in the rear with the Eaton True-Trac?
