So I pulled apart my rear axle today to change the pinion seal and housing gasket, only to discover that my old stock 28 spline axles are twisted. So now is the time to upgrade. I wont spend money on an aftermarket set of 28 spline, even though I know it is the cheapest and easiest route. I am thinking of going with 35 spline axles and either a Detroit or Yukon Grizzly locker.
Who has the Grizzly locker and what do you think of it? I currently have a Detroit and its great. But the Grizzly is cheaper, and I am wondering if it is as good as a Detroit or better or what?
For gear ratio I am thinking of 5.13's. Currently have 4.56's, but since swapping the ZF 5spd in, I think a lower ratio would be better. I currently have 35" tires and plan for 37's when the 35's finally wear out. Bronco is mainly offroad, but I do drive to the trails, sometimes over an hour one way.
Anyone run 5.13's? What do you think of them? Too low or would be fine? I have played with the calculators and think this is the way to go, but it would be nice to get others opinions.
Thanks.
