    Where to buy Savvy / Currie 4 inch lift?

    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...

    Where to buy Savvy / Currie 4 inch lift?

    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...

    HP Dana 30 re-gear - pinion preload changed

    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!

    @Blackjack or @hosejockey61 if either of you have time, would greatly appreciate it! :)

    HP Dana 30 re-gear - pinion preload changed

    Hello again, I would like to appeal to the wisdom of the community, and ask for a pattern check again again, this time on the rear axle. 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...

    Is it worth it to mod my TJ rear drums to Junkyard 93-98 Grand Cherokee ZJ rear disc conversion?

    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.

    Is it worth it to mod my TJ rear drums to Junkyard 93-98 Grand Cherokee ZJ rear disc conversion?

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

    Is it worth it to mod my TJ rear drums to Junkyard 93-98 Grand Cherokee ZJ rear disc conversion?

    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!

    HP Dana 30 re-gear - pinion preload changed

    Thanks! Final hiccup - pinion preload. Revolution master rehaul kit came with only a few pinion preload shims. Basically I can only adjust in increments of 4 thou. At the moment the closest value that gets me under the 16-20 inlb range gives me 12 inlb. Next larger shim pack combo gets me...

    Thank you very much @hosejockey61 and sorry to keep bothering you. Below is +2 thou to the one above, I think I will stick with this newest one.

    Could I get a quick opinion on the pattern please? @Blackjack @hosejockey61

    You're right, apologies for misinformation on the aluminium Axle. But I doubt it's a bolt on, as cherokee is leaf springs and TJ is coils. But yes, definitely call Revolution :)

    HP Dana 30 re-gear - pinion preload changed

    Also, when (if) choosing carrier / locker - don't forget about spline count! I almost did that with my ARB. I think Dana 30 come with either 27 spline or 30 spline; and I think Dana 44 come with 30 spline or 35(?) spline. They are different thickness shafts with different spline counts, and your...
