This is the post that started it all, but basically you have to buy a standard 2 1/2 inch collar either steel or aluminum and then modify it - the differential is about 2 5/9" - don't tighten the collar down - you'll stress the bearings - you just want a reinforcement - I did finger tight with blue locktight. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=5187&highlight=diff+collar This was the group buy on the aluminum collar http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=9691&highlight=diff+collar The reason the group went with aluminum was to minimize galvanic corrosion. you can accomplish the same thing on the steel by painting the inside of the ring. |

Wishfull thinking. I wouldn't do steel (painted or not) if you live anywhere near road salt. |
