diffs & lockers
« on: June 17, 2007, 03:12:21 PM »
first question is about diff gears for my '95 Kick. I've been doing some searching and lurking for sometime and haven't found any clear answers. I am going to buy ARB airlockers for my Kick. From what I have found is that my kick should have a 26 spline 12 bolt rear and a 22 spline 10 bolt front. Can I go with this info for ordering lockers, or is there a chance my '95 may have came with something else, do I have to pull the third to find out? Its a 5 speed by the way. I plan on running 32" rubber, is the stock diff ratio going to be OK, right now Calmini has suspended production of 12 bolt 5.83 so does anyone else offer aftermarket gears. How about just changing out the gears in the transfer case? The biggest problem I have is that I live in Costa Rica and my options are limited here, plus "mi espanol" aint so hot yet. My plans are to run a Calmini 6" Combo. The kick will be 75% on road hence the lockers to keep it very streetable. Thanks for any help or opinions in advance.

t-case gears in a kick will only affect your low range.  There will be no reduction of your high range.

Thats what I figured. Will the kick be a dog in high range/stock diff ratio with 32" rubber?

That is highly likely.
