Default suggestions and comments on this setup please

would I need FULL install kits for..
D30- 4.56 G2 limited lifetime with AUTO detroit
8.8- 4.56 G2 limited liftime with detroit True trac

master install kits are $100 each
vs. $20 minor installation kits. my budget is getting pretty tight here

what do you guys think about those lockers for my first locked rig DD on 33's?
keep in mind I will NEVER be using 4x4 anywhere but on the rocks
(auto 231)

i'd put full detroits F/R if you want to go full case, and get master install kits for both axles. try completeoffroad.com for gears/install. the yukon install kit+gears is around $100 per axle shipped. to save some cash, run an aussie or lock right up front.

What he said ^. I hated my truetrac and it will never fully lock up. You need full kits to get the shims and everything else you need for the install. I've gotten my last few sets from complete and they've always done right by me.

alright I'll be going with full detroits then
but with all that I dont know when I'll have the money to do any suspension upgrades
so I'll have to run all that on stock ride height. cut 4 inches off the fender and I'll squeeze those 33's in yeah?

also, I was strongly considering 4wheelparts because they dont make you pay shipping if you order the parts in store or something like that
the sac location is only 20 miles from me

bumping this
what do you guys think about 33's on stock suspension with major trimming (lawl)
and what about ordering everything from 4wheelparts for the free shipping in-store-pick-up

Haven't had any good experiences with 4wp and what you save in shipping they make up for in cost. Complete sells gear packages for front and rear and will cut you a deal and offer free shipping from time to time. Good luck on 33s with no lift.
