37s no assist yet but soon.broke on moab rim trail.but yes, i want to be able to do bfe and all the gnarly trails, crawling tho, im not a throttle jockey.i love my dual cases with 5.29s.she just creeps along
What type of terrain do you normally wheel on? Do you have similar issues or does this seem to be a Moab slick rock issue?The Moab Rim trail is 100% slick rock to the rim and I would assume puts a ton of stress on everything because you are climbing, turning tight with the weight shifted over one front tire. Do you get to the point that you physically can't turn the wheel? Mine gets to the point that it feels like the wheel is locked on occasion. With a front locker you really need to be as beefy as possible on the rocks. Stock studs may not be enough for your setup. 4 or 5 ARP studs may be sufficient. My tires are smaller so I can't tell you what the limit is from experience.
used 529 arb third and some rcv axles
How often do you see used 5.29 arbs? Thats why i welded mine
I like the truck, similar to mine. Im not sure what to say about the price, I usually figure out what it would cost new and then decide if the used price is low enough to make it worth it. There's no way for you to know how many miles are really on that axle.If it was recently rebuilt why wouldn't he at least throw some paint on that stuff while it's apart, makes me question the quality of work put into it. Could the gear ratio be a misprint? Meant to say 5.29's?The six shooters are good, I haven't really heard of any failures as long as the studs are tight, and the dirty 30's are tough but not indestructible. Another thing to consider is TG won't warranty any of that stuff since you aren't the original owner.I personally would not want a welded diff up front, selectable would be best but even an auto locker like a Detroit would be better. What steering do you have now,stock?

Are you sure all of the studs were torqued properly?
