[QUOTE=aj2494;3231741]Ditch the ABS, it's a dumb system and nobody runs with it, especially off-road. I'm not saying all ABS is dumb, but older systems are incredibly intrusive and a decent driver will have more control once they learn to moderate pedal pressure in snow. As far as upgrades, chromoly shafts (including the stub shafts) and Spicer sealed u-joints are pretty much all you've got. Do your axle shaft seals while you're in there, and you can get aftermarket seals for the exposed ends of the axle tubes. They only have a little piece of plastic from the factory, so it's not an actual seal.

Thanks for the advice. Any thoughts on manufacturers/suppliers for shafts and axle seals?
