Default Can I run 35 spline front axle shafts and axle sleeves?

I am looking at getting an ected max, which requires 35 spline shafts. I thought I had read somewhere awhile back that I could not because I have already welded in my sleeves.

Anybody have any experience?

I have an 07 rubi unlimited.

Thanks!

OR, does anyone have any info if I can get a regular ected (not max) and run stock shafts. For the wheeling I do, that would be fine I think, I do run 37's, but live in indiana. Not a lot of rocks.

I believe 35 spline shafts can't be used since your running sleeves but you can get chromoly shafts the same spline count as stock shafts. If you put in a regular ECTED and break a stock shaft.

What happened to your stock locker?

Dunno. Just won't work. Electric to it is on, and it even "clicks" (electrically) when engaged. But wont lock.

Back works great.

If this is true I believe it's the sleeves I'll go with.
