No! That's the best setup.

 

You lock the front and rear on 33's, you'd be near unstoppable imo.

 

I wouldn't say unstoppable... the more you build your vehicle, the harder trails you try. I'm locked on 33s and have still had to winch on a few trails.

 

I said NEAR unstoppable

 

That must be one hell of a trail?
Zack I think I am going to follow your lead and go ARB or Ashcroft lockers front and rear. Did you keep the ring and pinion stock or go 4.11? HD Axles are on my list as well. What would the complete ideal list look like for someone doing this? Mine is on 33s with RTE 3inch lift as well.

The Cove where conclave is held has some crazy trails no doubt!

Went with 4.11 GBR gears, reverse cut fronts for a little extra strength. Ashcroft air lockers and ashcroft HD rear axles(fronts will come with time, I don't like the design Ashcroft has currently). High output ARB air compressor, comes with a wiring harness for the air locker solenoids so it's pretty easy to hook up.

Air lockers are just so much more superior to any other type of differential, the ability to drive without difference until you need to get out of a situation.

 

Zack, this is pretty much what I have decided to do on mine as well. Luke at "The Shop" recommended as well. I was not aware of the reverse cut front gears thanks, I will talk to Bill about this.
What is the design issue with Ashcroft front HD axles?
thanks

Three issues, really, none huge.
1) can't install the front shafts with the CV boot on, so you have to install that inside the "knuckle"
2) the stock CV boot they give you is junk(apparently) and apparently there's a replacement you can get for pretty cheap.
3) after several hundred miles or so you have to remove the shafts and then polish them or something? Per Justin at Lucky8.

 

^^fun. More high maintainence stuff.

 

I believe you only have to do it once, not regularly
