What did you do to your jeep today?

So what your saying is it was easy so I should send mine your way to clean up nice like that. Those look good!

Thanks! … I think…

Under my Jeep today replacing the swaybar links and found out the passenger side front spring(2927) is broken and spring perch on the shock is giving way from rust.
Ordered replacements at Tdot Performance in Toronto OME2927 springs & KYB shocks.
$800cdn.

I am getting my OME2927’s compressed and struts assembled so that I can rebuild my front suspension. They should be ready for pickup from my shop on Monday.

While I have everything apart (cue scary music for mission creep…), I am thinking of removing the front diff and installing a torsen limited slip that I’ve had on the shelf for a while, as well as replacing the steering rack bushings with Creative Steel ones, plus new inner and outer tie rods.

In terms of installing that limited slip (basically a TrueTrac but by another company), can I swap over the ring gear without having to worry about pinion depth, etc.? I assume I will need new bearings for either side and maybe a shim set to match what is on the original carrier. Anything else I would need for that? Red loctite for the ring gear bolts, as well. I don’t have the funds to regear at the moment, but I do have the LSD hanging around. I’ve also got a TORQ locker for the rear end I can slap in.
