Yes, I know the 05 up SD 60 is superior, but the 99-04 60 is still capable of being used, as is older KP stuff (we beat on those axles for years). That being said, I have a 99-04 that was damn near free and already all cleaned up. Also have the Artec truss kit for it already, so I intend to use it for my Mall Crawler Minivan (2014 JKU) build. I do have my doubts on the 30 spline stubs in stock form for sure, but am on the fence of what route to go here.
Option 1, 30 spline chromos and hope for the best (Not too keen on this idea).
Option 2, Bored unit bearings and 35 spline chromos. (This option works, but requires me to need 3 bored out bearings so that I have a spare. At $475 a piece, plus a set of stubs at $150ish each, I'm in the $1900 range to have to go this route, plus I need lockouts)
Option 3, Spyntec Freespin Kit. (This is 35 spline, includes lockouts, includes stubs, and as a bonus has the correct tone rings for the JK for roughly $1900 to my door. That doesnt include any spare parts, so I would need to buy a spare stub at a minimum. Only other componet that would be oddball and would be nice to have as a spare would be a spindle. The bearings are all off the shelf parts.
I am leaning towards the Spyntec for sure, with that being said, does anyone have any experience with this kit at all? Quality worth a shit? Anyone happen to know if the stubs are off the shelf application or are they custom to the freespin kit?
