8.8 Carrier Changing for Locking...

[Creager]

Ok so i got the base now and took some measurements...
Looks like its a difference of .012 which is a lot more than someone else was suggesting the amount should be.... Could it just be because theres 100K+ miles on this rear end?

.012 is fine. .015 is really the maximum

after 100k miles they do tend to loosen up. You can reset the backlash, but you will quickly find out the stock shims are one peice, at pre-determined sizes. So a new shim kit will be needed.

My ARB will be ready today, drool drool.
I need to plumb the airline and the switch and then go do some testing!

nice... it'd be nice to have the selectable locker but they are so exspensive and there is always the chance on them not engaging...
