Front Differential Rebuild Kit Suggestions

[wayfinch]

Hello all,
I'm about to do a complete rebuild on my front diff gears, bearing, seals and what not. so my question; is there a complete kit out there thats any good? I have been looking but can't seem to find one, or the ones i do, seem suspect. i have never done a diff rebuild front or rear, but I can rebuild an engine. so i am assuming this is in my capabilities. also what is the trutrac LSD i have seen is it just a locker or something like that. anyway all advise is welcome appreciated thanks ahead of time.

Call West coast differentials. Ask for Jon. He'll set you up with everything you need. I ordered my 5.29 front and rear gear sets and rebuild kits from him and they showed up next day.
Setting up gears is very unlike rebuilding an engine. I had my clamshell apart 10-15 times checking the pattern because of the clamshell design. Its not fun. The rear was easier since its a 3rd member.
LSD means limited slip differential. Its the middle compromise between full slip (open gears) and no slip (locker.) Thus, limited slip.

Thank you. John was awesome and super helpful. He actually told a bunch of stuff to before I buy any parts awesome guy. Thanks again for the input.

This is in my future someday. I read up at Marlin Crawler & Just Differentials.
If you're gonna rear gear you might as well add lockers to both the front & rear.
