Have them on my truck as well and love them. Fiancee doesn't have to jump into the truck anymore (3" lift and 37s) and I don't have to worry about the step getting caught on something offroad.

Baja Designs are by far the best lights on the market right now. Great quality and customer service. Nothing else comes close. You made a great choice

Yeah I've been told the rear's are compatible, but the fronts changed for both manufacturers of the axles. I'll be patiently waiting, hoping we're getting close to the time parts start getting released. Luckily with the 10 speed there are still plenty of gear ratios to keep it in the powerband.

I was more curious why there were no aftermarket gears available at all, just to regear these trucks. For my use I agree that a locking front differential wouldn't be necessary, but I would like to go to 4.10s for my 37s. There are times where I'm trying to get on top of the whoops and I think the lower gearing would make it easier to pick up speed.

I'm curious what Auburn gears is planning to do for the front differential. I've heard mixed things about the carrier possibly being welded. If it's not, then I'm not sure what the delay has been for aftermarket gear companies.

Another desert trip this past weekend. One of the guys that came out has a nice camera and took some photos of the fun. These shots are right after a short sections of whoops coming over a crest. Going around 75mph here. Perfect spot to see the suspension compressed and then drooped out.

Did you find gears that work for our front diffs? I haven't had any luck finding a company that offers them

Took the truck out to Barstow yesterday to do a little shock tuning. Here's a video of one of my last runs of the day after I made some adjustments to the rear shocks https://youtu.be/t30CYgnPUhU

Installed my Baja Designs XL80 lights onto my bumper this last weekend and had them wired up to a switchpros. The lights are incredibly bright (almost 10k lumens each) and with the combo lens they throw light very far, but also have a wide beam. Plenty of light to be driving fast off-road in the dark. Switchpros is awesome; tons of features including dimming and strobe which are the most useful for me right now. Planning to go out to Barstow again in a couple weeks to tune the shocks. Will get some videos of the truck and suspension in action.

They make the nicest lights on the market. Good choice on that kit.

Installed AMP steps on the truck. I get to keep my ground clearance and the fiancee doesn't have to jump into and out of the truck anymore

Installed new leaf springs, cut some big holes in the bed, and installed the bedcage and new shocks. New setup should be almost twice the wheel travel as stock.

Finally got a bumper custom made for my truck. Tabbed for 6 Baja designs XL80 lights. Been a little over a year since the stock bumper came off when the fiberglass and suspension was installed.

I believe they are cast steel so you should be able to weld a gusset. I've thought of that, but have never gotten around to checking clearances and what would be able to fit. I know Toyota guys have to do it since their spindles are even thinner. Haven't had to bring the truck in for warranty since I've had parts installed. I'm sure anything transmission or anything after transmission on the drivetrain, they'd really kick up a fuss about. Truck is already at 36k miles so I only have powertrain warranty remaining on the truck now. I'm curious if the ZR2 front diff will be an easy swap to non-ZR2 trucks. I'm hoping it means that companies will start making gears for the current generation front differentials though. I'd really like to swap to 4.10 gears, but there still is nothing available for the front differential. I don't personally know anyone that has bought a ZR2 or AT4x though.

Yeah they'll fit an OEM replacement coilover and retain the sway bar. Will be a good option if you want something stronger than stock, but don't want to drop thousands more into a full kit. Still looking for someone to make a 4wd capable aftermarket spindle. That'll definitely be the weak point.
