My two cents, 1.) I don't have first hand knowledge as I have the V6. However, after a trip through the rubicon, I love what the 5.13's did in the rocks with decreased crawl speeds allowing greater control. Either will be an improvement over stock. While the Turbo offers greater total torque...

I have mine inside the driver fender but later learned about Ben at Varozza 4X4. He has an under hood option that is not so close to the exhaust. The noise inside would drive me insane.On snow trips, the family sits inside with the heater on while i air up. Again, the noise. Varozza 4X4...

Did you watch the video posted by the OP?

Maybe but how would you explain the shock caps? Rolling the axel adds front shock clearance as does acceleration. Add to that the limited horsepower. I spun two rear diffs on my old K5 before swapping to a 14 bolt but that was on pavement with a 454.

Is it possible that the shocks bottomed before the axel bumps? The picture seems to show this, the axel bump extensions don't appear to have taken a big hit and the shocks appear to have been compressed beyond the shock bump and contact between the bottom of the shock body and lower mount was...

The jealous bone is really feeling it! Congratulations!

If you’re not done yet, yes stock pinion shim. Try running the pattern with a drill with socket, not an impact to turn the pinion. My experience showed a very well defined pattern with the drill and a hammer handle against the ring gear for back pressure. Also, make sure all off the protective...

Just adding my 2 cents, the attached files from Dana spec SAE 75W-140 Gear Lubricant for the M210 and M220 along with their UD 44s.

I don't know about the warranty but imagine they would no longer cover the locker or gears but probably not a huge concern. As to mileage, I will offer only what I know as fact. I picked up about 2 MPG around town going from 4.10 to 5.13 on 38's. I don't drive the freeway much but there has been...

My comments are meant to provide perspective and not intended to counter other opinions on here. It really comes down to what you are using your Jeep for, because I live in the foothills and my JL is not my primary vehicle, after time on the road and the trail, 5.13 is absolutely the right...

For first times, I would not let that stop me from testing it prior to closing it up. The goal is to verify the locker truly functions and not just confirm no error light. You can watch the locker solenoid push the tabs into the locker and view the indicator on the locker switch and watch the...

Pull the bearing on the locker side and see if you can use your new press to stamp the bends out of the locker plates. The trick is to make sure they are not in a bind and can allow the lower plate to turn unobstructed within the tabs of the upper plate. Otherwise, they will wear against each...

I am willing to ship mine. 6800 miles on the factory 4.1, loving the new 5.13 on 38s!

Have you guys noticed the difference between what DANA shows on the two PDF files and what others are quoting here and elsewhere? The difference on quoted backlash is significant. I spoke with a gear tech yesterday and he stated that he would only use these tight specs for Genuine DANA gears...

This forum has been very helpful for me on my first gear change so I post things I learn along the way and are not necessarily directed specifically to the OP. I verified the locker worked prior to final torque by plugging the pigtail in. At first, I was getting an error. Plugging in the FAD...

Awesome feedback! Thank you!

Adding on to what WranglerAdvs said While I agree that it is not for everyone, nearly everybody adds larger tires and that has an affect on performance, each vehicle was designed to be in a specific RPM range to provide the best overall performance based on the torque curve. When larger tires...

Fantastic work, thank you so much! I am doing mine and wanted to add that if you just need carrier bearings because low miles on the original, the SPICER Part Number is 10071915 for a set of (2) bearings. Same part number for front or back, for the Rubicon M210 and M220 diffs. $25 to $30

In my opinion, the E-lockers that come with the Rubicon are fantastic. Fully open diff until you hit the button. If I had a sport, I would seriously consider finding Rubicon take-off axles. You get the wider axle, it moves the tires to the edge of the fenders which I think improves the look and...

I have had Death Wobble on my 2019 JLUR. EVO Coilovers with Long Arms, less than 4000 miles on the Kit. It is my opinion that most death wobble comes from the track bar. Sure enough, the evo track bar in my case used a factory upper bushing. (I think many manufactures were using the factory...
