Yeah I tried the sleeves both ways. Once I assembled it all though I've got something else binding because the drag link isn't going full lock to lock. Probably going end up going to truggy arms eventually anyways.

Yeah, we'll see. Read through the thread you referenced, but hadn't thought about the bevel pinion sliding in like that. Havent had that issue with the truggy, so I guess well see.

Well thats the backup plan.. go back to bulletproof diffs and run either a 52 or 54 spur with a 9-11 pinion.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Use something cheap to make a long skidplate for it.
