That would expand my budget quite significantly🤣

Thanks all! @jjvw I'll probably ship them to my friends in the US who will later ship everything to Riga. So far that worked woth other things including MrBaline's brakes. It's a hassle but I don't have many options! @Jerry Bransford thanks, appreciate the advice. I've got an Adams...

Hello Forum Members, I am shopping around for a Savvy / Currie 4 inch lift kit for my TJ, and am not quite sure what's the best place to get it. I know there is a thread about Savvy going out of business or changing owners, but could not quite get whether they are not shipping any products at...

Actually, I almost forgot one more learned lesson, maybe will help you @UKTJ or someone else: In short, the kit I had came with not enough pinion preload shims, so I ended up carefully filing down one of the shims from 12 thou (which was the thinnest one in the kit) to about 8 thou which was...

Thank you, Sir! That's what the end result looks like (excuse the mess).

Perfecto. Appreciate it! This is a second run here, compared to ~15 on the front Axle. I guess sometimes you get lucky indeed.. Thank you both!

Since the original post I have moved onto Dana 44 rear axle, and I think I am happy with this pattern, but when compared to the front axle, it feels like I got...

Hey @NashvilleTJ ! Thanks! That's pretty cool! I guess we are quite good in hockey, also in basketball - I think a few of our players play in the NBA. Riga is quite small, but also cozy and pretty.

Yup, gotcha, thank you!

All clear, thanks a lot!

Thanks! So basically it's the backing plate that's different across two brake options, right?

Hey @tworley. Reviving this old thread, was hoping to get your advice please. Basically, I bought a Dana 44 out of a TJ that came with drum brakes. I also ordered a set of chromoly shafts from Revolution Gear, and by mistake instead of ordering a set that fits Dana 44 with Drum Brakes, got one that...

Scrap that. Tightening the nut a bit more with the thicker shim pack of the two, got me to 16inlb.

Could have not done without all the help from the folks!
