Eh. I'm running the standard JB conversions kit. It's fine, but I would say advance adapters is the best. JB doesn't come with a replacement main lock ring like the AA kit.

My JB SS SYE came with all new rings. Maybe it was because I ordered the wide chain kit with it? I also run their wide chain kit and 6 pinion planetary.

It would because of that kit. Mine didn't because the gears stayed in the same spot of the main shaft.

Is the AA kit 32-spline? Is the lock ring that necessary to be replaced?

I was considering the JB conversion myself.

AA is also 32 spline. If you think of the amount of people happily running the JB with the reused snap ring, I think that's a pretty good answer to your question.

I'm not saying it is necessary to replace... I never said that... I said it didn't come with another one. Which was a pain in the *** when mine broke.

Good point, 94XjSport94. I think it would be wise for all SYE manufacturers to include at least a partial rebuild kit with the SYE kit. It would save them a lot of trouble with returns due to installer error and such.

If you don't wanna buy from him then don't. But don't slam the guy for trying to run his business. I'd spend the extra money all day long.

Not only that, Frank is a hell of a guy. I have picked his brain and received very useful information from him at no charge. He has made phone calls to me and walked me through things w/o selling me a single thing. Don't HATE appreciate!
