In a way I hate to post such basic stuff but I'm still undecided after searching, so help me out a little here...
I don't live in an area with a ready supply of junkyard parts. I've been looking for a D44 for a while but haven't come across anything in my area...so...I need to put rear discs onto the D35. I'm not rebuilding the drums again, they need shoes, drums, and a full overhaul maybe with cylinders too...its not worth it to keep maintaining them the way I drive. I ordered the SSBC kit yesterday.
To put the brakes in I'm going to have to pull the shafts obviously, so, I figure at the very least I should go to the 30 spline shafts, the next question is whether to lock it. I just put in my 5 gallon tank and my OBA setup is glorious, so the ARB would be an easy integration.
Now, here is the topic of the thread, can I do this in my driveway? Meaning, of course, how does an ARB involve the settings of the ring and pinion gears? And, out of curiosity, how is the airline introduced into the differential? I would assume that is some sort of a problematic task.
I don't do much heavy wheeling, I do alot of sand and some mud but not rocks. I like the disc brakes for water, which I seem to see alot of, and for the maintinance characteristics. I am more of a Scenic and recreational Jeeper than anything hardcore so I think I should be OK witha Super 35 build on 33's at 4.5"...a bigger axle would be better, but I don't think it is possible right now.
Thanks for your input.
