im gonna get a marlin crawler drop in 3rd. reason of that is it would be cheaper to buy that with a locker then to buy gears, lockers and have it set up. but form what i can tell marlin only makes them for the rear. does anybody know where to get a drop in 3rd for the front?with 5.29s and preferably lockrite locker. ive been searching for a while now and cant find crap. or if anyone has one for sell i may be interested in ti in about 2-4 months

try http://www.trail-gear.com/toy-diffs.html
http://www.davezoffroadperformance.com/
those are some off the top of my head

marlin has them here: http://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/diff/pickup_diff.htm
the v6 third mounts front or rear (7.5" Ring gear) your IFS front is a 7.5
--call Marlin though to verify...


or you could also try contacting Zuk at http://gearinstalls.com/ he installs gears for people..just ship him your third

I take it this is for the '95 in your sig?

yoder519

yea its for my 95. and the only place around here that i truct to do it is gonna charge me $1499.00 for gears front and rear the install kist fluids and install. and that dont even include lockers! but thanks alot for the links

check around your local wheeling clubs. There are a few guys around the pacific Northwest that charge $150-200 for set up on each third. Just provide the parts...disadvantage is no real warranty...

those from trailgear and marlin are for the rear only tho aint they? are you sayin that i could get the 4cyl for rear and the v6 would mount to the fornt of my 22re?

As far as I know, nobody offers a complete built front IFS diff in the aftermarket.

I would look on CL for somebody who is unloading their parts after a SAS. Or buy a cheap 4.10 front diff, get your gears and lockers, get them set and install it yourself!

yoder519

yea im gonna install my 3rds myself. and i was gonna pay someone to set them up. btu not no 1500 bucks. thats why i was wnating drop ins. i guess ill just have to buy the drop in rears form marlin with 5.29s and a lockrite. im gonna run 35x10.50 ssr's. jay, did you have to have any more extensions of any sort for lift your lift? other than the lspv? im gonna run the same thing on mine. with some trimming

Jay351

Nope

I extended the LSPV like you mentioned, and that was it. It was nice to have brakes again

yoder519

righ ton . thats what i was hopin. im goin 3in body, my bj pacers and 2inch aal. so ill need to extend it 5 or 2 inches?

If I were you, I'd buy the gears for the front, reuse your front diff, get someone to set up the gears, then install the locker yourself. Resetting the backlash is pretty easy and that's all you need to do when installing a locker.

With spider gear replacements (Aussie, Lock Right EZ, Locker), you can just replicate the existing BL, with an ARB or Detroit, you need a dial indicator. With the ARB, you need to set up the air line as well. The BL isn't hard at all, and the air line routing look too difficult either.

I have an empty rear third (with used bearings, i think they are good), and a good front third, with 4.30 gears. I would sell the rear for $100 and the front for $125. I would have to check on shipping. If you like I can ship them directly to whom ever you would have set them up. I think Zuk charges around $150 for setup and there is a company on pirate that is about the same. If you are having one set up , I have heard that Aussie is a better locker than lock right, but they only have it for the 4 cyl, so you would want to use 4 cyl gears. I think the only difference is the 4 cyl has 2 spider gears adn the 6 has four, and I think the locker replaces those anyway. But you will want to research that.

yoder519

thank ye for the offer trbizwiz but i think im gonna get the marlin rear with a lockrite and 5.29s. and if your front 3rd had 5.29s the we could tlak buisness lol

Jay351

With a 2" AAL I would extend it 2" The LSPV mounts to the frame and to the axle, so a body lift doesnt change the angle at all.

I had actually made mine a little longer then I should have. Because of the bigger tires I had found my braking was pretty bad. So I lifted my lspv about .5" over stock, so the truck thinks its loaded down partially now.
I have working rear ABS so im not worried about the tires locking up.
