Front end upgrade
« on: Apr 04, 2005, 06:37:20 PM »
Now for my next upgrade, I am going to install some of the 30 spline Longfields and want to know what all anybody else would recommend I do while the front end is apart.

I got a pretty simple setup and would like to keep it that way. It does well on the highway and the rocks. Marlin Crawler, x-over steering, lockers etc on 35's. I want to toughen it up some for slightly more insane terrain. When these 35's wear out I will probably go with some 36 or 37's. Any suggestions for me while I got the front end torn apart?

Maybe a rebuild kit with all new bearings?

Yea I was planning that. I already got the gasket kit in my garage. I was going to buy the bearings with the axles.
