Might think of eliminating your disco crap as well. Locked and geared in the front you will break it. Its not a matter of if, but when.

So you are talking about doing gears and a locker but removing the disco is going to have to wait?? It's simple go to a pick and pull get the shafts it's so easy I did mine for 40 bucks

Yes worst set I have ever installed. Pinion was .002 larger where the bearings sit then the oem one. So putting on the outer bearing was a nightmare. Its hard to set up shims corectly when You can't lightly press the bearing on like every other 100's of kits I have installed. The threads for the pinion where soft and stripped out second time nut was installed. I had to re-tap it. Just junk imo. Yukon stuff installed with no issue. Hell I have had better luck with g2 junk.
