Non issue- gotta think some dudes ditch the two piece rear driveshaft in favor of a singleā¦. Which to me if you are flexing enough to justify a single piece your in the big leagues anywayā¦.
Im at 3ā rear and have the rockjock. No noise before or after- just thought the spacer couldent hurt...
I picked up springs for $300 front lower control arms for $80⦠metal cloak front sway bar links for another $80ā¦.
seemed cheap enough to me- and gave the diesel the weight height it needed.
The ākitā is kind of a joke⦠(@$2k!!)
The springs were a bandaid fix for me. Quality wise the seem āokā...
You drive a diesel?? Or are you referring to your hybrid?
Anyone running artech skids? š¬ trying to get a read on clearance for the B&M pan or PPE panā¦. Looks like a PPE will fit fine but the B&M might be pushing it.
Max life atf huh⦠š¬ this is the same transmission thatās in Audi sq5ās, Porsche Macanās, x5ās.
Have a few friends with built sq5ās putting down 700+ and Only use zf fluidā¦. The few bucks in savings isnāt worth the $4500 replacement IMO⦠š¤·āāļø...
I have had yankum ropes for 5 years now- great product(s).
I did find the video above to be pretty interesting and if I didnāt already have a 20ā and 30ā yankum I would likely have went a different route. (Not that Yankum are bad- they are greatā¦)
This is such a challenging post to answerā¦. How often did you change the differential fluid?

I havenāt seen anyone post on this, but I am considering picking this up.

Ph7.2 and 18hardness @36k š¬ makes me think I might just be worth flushing every 40-50k for peace of mind.

Whatās yours weigh?
I think this is sound advice. I went with fifteen52 wheels instead of methodsā¦. I should have went with methods. lol beadgrips are kind of that perfect game changer of low psi and low weight wheels. šŗ
My daily commute is 200mi round trip and I take the Jeep one day a weekā¦. Iām running 37ās @32psi⦠at highway speeds they warm up to around 35psi.
Chalk test for sure⦠at the pressures you are running I would start to watch for the centers to wear faster than the rest of the tire.
