I had two bearings going out in my stock 3rd. I just wanted to kill two birds with one stone, I ain't wheelin for another two months so I figured 1 month do the rear, next do the front. All I can afford, barely
:mad:

Was the bad pinion bearing in a stock 3rd member from the factory? How'd the diff oil look?

ya it was from the factory, lasted 160k. The carrier bearing was shot too. Diff Oil was clean and no metal shavings found. All the teeth were perfect. Only bearings need replacement. Good thing now since I have a spare 3rd, after I get the front re geared I will send my old 3rd off too ECGS and have them install 4:56's in it to have a back up.

Good plan! Having spares is always nice! Maybe I should have drove my stock ones a little further before I regeared, my 3.73ss only had 17k on them when i shipped them back to chase

Well if I knew better I would have sooner. I'm just happy I have a spare now, well until I get that regeared too!Also, I'll be going with the 1.5" BL from 4crawler. I just am having a bitch of a time trying to order it haha. I'll be getting the steering upgrade too and all new bed bolts.

I had 3.73s and a 4.56 spare diff for over a year before I finally regeared the truck, found a good deal on the spare so had to pick it up and figured I'd upgrade at some point 
Yeah his site is a little strange and different to deal with. I sent about 10 emails back and forth before I figured out what I needed.

After the BL, you gonna stuff some 35s under your rig?

That has been my plan from the beginning. Also saving for a 2" TC kit for the front.

To hell with 35s get 37s and run some recentered h1 beadlocks
37s are a bitch unless you want to fab new body mounts
