It's not as bad as it seems. I have replaced sprockets, chains and shafts for the SYE kits and if I can do it surely you can. I would be more scared of it getting to the point that I couldn't get it into or out of 4WD when needed and having to spend the night in the woods with the headless horseman.

thats why your never wheel alone, and the headless horseman only goes after nerdy teachers that tried to take his women so you got nothing to worry about

well got my JKS HD cross member today as a late X-mas gift.

for lift planning on getting the RE3.5 super flex then adding the JKS adjustable spacer and keeping my teraflex rear shackles. gonna keep the same wheels and tires for now but might cut a little more. Also planning on getting AJs or JCR rock rails
