Hey Marc, I just saw your this write-up. I'm in the middle of doing my marlin front suspension/hysteer and I just got my front axle housing flange all modded up and ready for the new e-locker my friend is re-gearing. Did you have to beat from the inside out on the front of the housing to get it to clear the ring gear? I've read some write-ups for the installing a e-locker in the rear and people have had to do this. I also like the counter sunk bolt trick.
