I personally like mine, it was kachunking on turns, now it just rachets since I got 37's. Was gonna change the thrust washers, now I don't need to. You can tell a big difference off-road. I may get a Detroit for the rear.only time I can tell it's there on road is when turning into a parking spot slowy

Yep, for some odd reason , seems like it woulda been worse. Driveshaft/ transfercase noise went away too and I lifted the front almost another 2 inches with the Tera flex springs. I dunno it's really odd but works.

did you do gears tires and locker all at the same time. i guess my biggest concern is that my spider gears are no good so putting them back in isn't an option if i don't like it. but i guess i could look into some 37's but that would mean a lift, also not a bad thing.
