Help me make a decision on upgrading my axles

[Apparition]

Going to sound stupid, but what does BTDT stand for? I don't have the knowledge to regear an axle. I've never had the opportunity to learn so I've always paid someone else to do it.

I ordered the axles today from ECGS. Got the front and rear Dana 489's with 4.88 gears and ARB lockers. I opted for the beefier Set 20 rear bearings and disc brakes. I also got new spindles and bearings for the front. I figure with my axles being the OEM units and nothing probably ever being replaced other than the brake pads, it was due at 204k miles.

Now I just have to wait the 60-75 days. Of course that either puts it at the week before or after I go to the Fall Meet & Greet Ride at Red River Gorge in Kentucky.

Been There Done That

Good to know. All these acronyms, its hard to keep up sometimes.

You almost never hear anyone complain about being over-geared.
Unfortunately, you also almost never hear anyone admit they under-geared.

Hello. My name is PRNDL and I am under-geared.

That's the first step.
