So I bought a fully setup 12-bolt Sidekick diff with new ARB locker installed. After it arrived, I realized it has the upgraded 27 spline side gears (for running the larger / stronger shafts). For my application, I'd rather run OEM 26-spline shafts, so I need to source some 26 spline ARB side gears.

Any suggestions?  I'd be happy to trade my 27 spline ARB side gears for someone's 26 spline ARB side gears...

Thanks,

Call ARB USA, they can hook you up.
The usual stuff, and 2nd generation Air to liquid intercooled TURBOCHARGER

I emailed them all the details and a tech is supposed to get back to me.
The problem is, you CAN buy the regular 26 spline side gears, but they come with the planetaries as well, and that kit is like $382.

Sounds like it is setup for Dana 35 shafts.  Was this in one of the custom Spidertrax front ends that used the Dana 44 outers?

Well Brent at TT came through and had a spare set of 26 spline ARB side gears, so they are on their way north to me.
Sooo, now I just need to find a home for these 27 spine ARB side gears.  These are actually Dana 30 ARB side gears that Trail Tough was using to build "The Big Rear End" for samurai's with the hybrid Sidekick rear axle.  So I suppose my best chance to sell them will be to a Jeep person, or someone running a Dana 30.

Hey Drone... just saw your post.  I think "The Big Rear End" axle setup ran custom shafts.  They were like 2mm larger.
