Clayton long arms, $600 is a deal.

 

he saw ling arms but read conttol arms lol

 

Yeah lol

I got a $1,000 kit for $600, I ain't complaining

 

Let see..
I had:
Around 800 in my 3 link
100 in coils
50 in bump stops
80 in shocks..

A quality front end setup is going to be 1200-2k easy

 

I know what I would like to change about everything too. True 3 link instead of radius arms would be first, way less binding and would change how the front end would unload. My front end has unloaded only a few times but I could still get over what I was trying to.

Steering and brakes will soon be upgraded.

Ready to get the rear end locked, when the rear hits an undercut of a rock and spins the other side is a real *****. I walked everything at gulches, even on my worn down Km2's. Death Valley was fun, TNT rock garden, Palmetto crossing, RR. I wanted to climb ship wreck but we had a huge line trying to get down to it plus I don't think I could have lined up to it...

Locking the front has been the best upgrade I've done. I love it.

 

How you like the locked front on the highway? Everything I've heard scares the crap outta me wanting to do it.

 

Well you're driving straight so it's not acting any different than an open diff. As long as the sprigs and pins are tight and not worn down you'll only hear it in parking lots.

 

Springs and pins? Where at?

 

In the locker?

 

So unless you buy a used one this wouldn't really come into play, what's the life expectancy of a new one

 

I would buy a used one, but replace the springs and pins. Basically only buying the side gears. I'd also get a chromoly cross pin like an Aussie has.

Life expectancy depends on wheeling, abuse, set up, and how often it unlocks probably plays a roll in there. Then normally just replace the springs and pins for a couple bucks.

 

Remind me of the type you got again.

 

Lokka. Same thing as an Aussie (read the FAQ's and google it on NAXJA)

I need to get a spare spring kit and chromo pin since I wheel pretty hard with mine.

 

Are the replacement parts easy to come by from the company, or are parts interchangeable with other lockers

 

Cross pin should all be the same, unless a company uses a bigger pin than stock (I think 1 or 2 might?). I'll probably call Aussie tomorrow and ask if I can use their pins and springs then order off amazon.
