You will notice a big improvement over the stock brakes. Before I installed the BBK, I had the BMB pads/Centic rotors and noticed a significant improvement on braking distance. Money well spent right here if you ask me.
Sounds good! Hopefully I'll get them by next weekend so I can get it all installedYou will notice a big improvement over the stock brakes.

Contacted offroad connection today, for just the master install kit/gears/carriers/bearings/seals is a total of $2005.00 (Just got the quote for the regear no locker). This is using Yukon parts.
Shops like Motobilt and UCF regear for $1600.00 including carrier replacement but bearings/seals are additional if they need to be serviced. Funds are getting low so trying to get the locker priced out sucks because I only have cash for the re-gear. If you just do gears its $1400.00 if you have proper carriers.
If all bearings and seals were replaced, $1800-$2000 is an accurate quote for just gears and carriers with all bearings/seals replaced.
Here are the exact quotes from motobilt, everyone else contacted gave verbal quotes:

The are written 41 11, so i believe if my math is correct thats a 3.73 ratio. How do the stock gears look?Take some brake cleaner and really spray the differential out. On the ring gear should be some numbers stamped into it (the smooth part). Those numbers should indiacte ring gear teeth and pinion teeth or simply the ratio of the two. Example: "4.10"

How do the stock gears look?]
Honestly have no idea . Had no clue what I was looking at if you could tell.Are those clutch packs I see on the side of the spider gears?

The person who sold it to me thought it was a detroit trutrac, after research it looks like an lsd. If anyone wants the gears and lsd you are more than welcome to let me know, just need to get this installed & driven to the gear shop. Funds are tight for what I want to do shaft/locker wise so I may just regear for now.View attachment 21865
Hard to tell but it certainly looks like clutch packs.
You should definitely sell the stock gears and lsd to recover some of your expenses. Hopefully you will do the same with your Dana 35. But I wouldnt expect people to blow up your phone when you post it.The person who sold it to me thought it was a detroit trutrac, after research it looks like an lsd.

Thank you for pointing it out to me!
Yeah I will be doing so!You should definitely sell the stock gears and lsd to recover some of your expenses. Hopefully you will do the same with your Dana 35. But I wouldnt expect people to blow up your phone when you post it.
I will need to rebuild the lsd won't I?Do a gear swap and run the LSD. It'll do well for most situations. Lock the front later on if funds allow.
I would price doing a limited slip rebuild yourself and then comparing the price to new parts or a lunchbox locker.I will need to rebuild the lsd won't I?
Lunchbox is a great choice up front but in the rear its terrible.I would price doing a limited slip rebuild yourself and then comparing the price to new parts or a lunchbox locker.
Awesome thank you for clarifying.That is a factory Traclok. Decent, clutches are easily replaced, not noticeable on the street.
Tracloc is good for like 20k-30k miles right?Yes, new Yukon clutches are bout $75. Just replace the clutch packs and you got a fresh Traclok. Just remember to add a little limited slip friction additive to the oil . Most GL-5 gear oils already have the additive in the gear oil. I think you need to soak the discs in the additive for a while prior to install. Rob would know more about this.
