Thanks

A spool will put a lot of stress on the axle shafts on the street. If you aren't running too big of tires your 8.25 will probably survive. If its a daily driver I would suggest a lunchbox style locker to allow the slip needed when turning high traction corners. Aussie, Powertrax... Many people will tell you running a spool on the street is very dangerous, but you just have to be careful and understand that a modified 4x4 is going to handle different than a sports car.

A mini-spool locks your axles together, basically eliminating the differential. Both wheels will turn at the exact same speed no mater what. Normally with a differential when you are turning, the outside wheel will spin faster than the inside wheel, but with a mini-spool in place they will both turn the same speed so one will be slipping. It's not a major problem, but could be a little dangerous on the street.

Yea I think I'm gonna bust out the masking tape and spray paint next week I'm drive n down to a buddys house in lakeland Florida for vacation or in other words to work on my truck haha I'm gonna try and paint them then but I gotta paint my axles and suspension first and a couple other little projects I gotta finish I'm gonna try to squeeze in painting the trim,ill for sure take some pics to post,.thanks again for the info!

sounds good, thanks for the info, defiantly post some pics after u repaint! I've stained mine with **** I got off 4wd but they turned out kinda streaky so I've been thinkin about just painting them.

haha yeaa...I actually only put the lift and spacers on because I bought the rims and tires to wide and to tall so I had serious rubbing problems. It turned out sweet in the end though. I thought about doing some pro comp all terrains and soft 8s but I don't off road this jeep its just too damn clean. I use my rusted out 92 for that haha

What is yours doing thats acting funky?

other than driving through a random field that had about 18" of snow? nope. my 4wd was being retarded or I would've

nope just sand it wipe and paint aka roll

yeah 220 will do the trick and you can use a wet rag too
