Solid or Crush pinion spacer?

I tore out my rear third member to replace my pinion seal after an outing and since then i added new bearing and an aussie locker. I added new bearings because of 300,000 miles of use even though they looked beautiful, with not pitting or scratches, the aussie was needed since i get stuck to often when i wheel with bigger rigs.

Anyone know where to get a solid spacer for less the 32.99?

You want a solid pinion spacer instead of a crush sleeve.

Trail-gear sells them for $19

If you replaced the bearings, you'll wanna check the gear pattern, could have changed and you might need to shim the pinion... worth checking.

solid spacers just take a bit more time to install to set the bearing preload but once it's set you dont gotta worry about it
