Stock can take you pretty far. Its all about wheel placement.

Awesome!! What locker did you get? Are you going to do the install on your own?

Front already has a spartan, for the rear now its a no-slip. for me it was pretty much either a no-slip or an ARB for the rear. but since its not my daily and I got the no-slip for 1/2 price, no-slip it is. Ill be doing the install myself. Likely do the SYE tonight and open up the diff and get it ready for the no-slip which should come in before friday.

How do you like the Spartan on the road? You should be on the ground and running before the 9th then. Do you still have the open carrier from when you swapped in the spartan? I'm looking for a 3.73 or numerically higher carrier for a Dana 30.

im a fan of the spartan. really dont notice it there, but the drive up to tahoe last weekend was super icy to the point where I could barely accelerate in 2wd at time. Stuck it in 4 part-time (50/50 tq split) and didnt lose traction once that I could tell. Lots of people say front locker is not good in the snow and ice, but on freeway about as icy as ive ever seen it was great. also took it down a side road to dodge traffic where the snow was halfway up my 33s and totally killed it, no traction problems at all.

The spartan uses the stock carrier, so I dont have a spare one. Its 3.55 gears anyway though

Nice! What part of tahoe did you go to? My brother lives in homewood. I had an arb in the front of mine but the po destroyed it to beyond repair so I need to replace it and I can't afford a new arb not at $850. I'm running 4.56 gears.
