Sierra Front Axle
Posted: Wed 07 Aug, 2013 10:45 pm
Just after some advice on which axles to get for my sierra. I want to put a front locker in and i thought getting the axles sorted now seems the only way to go.
Is there a recommended choice between the trail tough 'Double Tough' or the Low Range Off Road set. The Low Range Off Road on the web site state "The inner race of the Birfield have been upgraded to 33-splines to better distribute the torque loading". Not sure if its the same as the Trail Tough design or if its a recent upgrade they have done because the other ones they sold weren't reliable?
As for a locker i was thinking a spool, i have no idea how 'bad' the front locked all the time off road would be, so some advice would be great on that too. Not sure if there is such a way to make a front disconnect save disengaging hubs every two seconds while retaining the strength of the spool.
Any advice would be appreciated.
