Talk to SpiderTrax about that, I didn’t make em.The step down on the stub makes no sense either
You like the base of your splines being a stress riser?The step down on the stub makes no sense either
Had Paul make me some lower links and tie rods.
At first I was bummed that my order was taking forever, but then found out that he had to custom order the material for my tie rods. That and he is apparently very busy with lots of work.

The spindle bearing has to ride somewhereLook at the yoke side, then the flange side. Why do two different methods?
pulling a knuckle off to get a shaft out is a big fat NOPE for me. id open up the knuckle bore before i signed myself up for something like that.Can you not pull the knuckle off, insert shafts then put the knuckle back on over the shaft?

It looks like it's the ctm that's hitting? Can you clearance 2 sides? Like a small slot on the left and right the size of the caps. Fit it through, rotate 90°, slide the other half in?
Just throwing stuff at the wall. Sucks no matter how you slice it.
It's a unit bearing, there is no spindle.
Yep. This was pretty common back with the Yukon 4340 D60 shafts. You either had to grind down the yokes a little bit or clearance a few spots on the bore. Generally we did the bore as we didn't want to get stuck somewhere having to swap in a shaft and not have it fit.
I wouldn't go all the way around as the unit bearing and bore are meant to be a tight fit, but a few small lines with a die grinder to sneak the caps past isn't the end of the world.

I did not have the same issue with the front. This leads me to believe that there are definitely different castings, and for what reason/years I don’t know.Glad to see the updates started back up!
Question: Did you have this same issue with the front axle? Both use 99-04 outers with Spider Trax Axles and CTM joints correct?

We will see... I’m not 💯 on how it’s going to look once it’s all together.... but I fucked up the paint on the rams during fabrication of the mounts and they needed something.I dig the paint on the rams.

Manual brakes.Man I love the brake line hold downs. I'm going to use that on my build!!
Since this is somewhat brake related.....you mind me asking what your brake set up is and how you like it? master(power or manual, Size) calipers? rotors?
lEver have any oiling issues on your 9.5" diffs by running them at an angle? Do you just run a known volume of oil when you refill?
