I hope so
TrailTough will have (I hope) a kit for the SideKicks (2/4dr) next year for those people that can't fabricate (like me) for the Yota axles

Hey, in the meantime, why don'tcha ship them thar 'yota axles over here to Michigan, Hotrod?

Sweet You've got 10 days to get them in and make the Ride

Very nice ride!     Looks like you have a metric whack of labour into it.  Kudos to you. <---Jay

BUILT is the key term.

When loaded up with camping gear this summer we tipped the scales at 4793lbs. (fully loaded)  *gasp*  (2011 front / 2782 rear)

I have thought about taking the torch to a lot of my 'add-ons' to take some of the weight out of it.  (cutting circles out of things like bumpers, etc)  I know I could have engineered some things quite a bit lighter (like the cross members for the dual cases).  But I hate it when things break, especially when I could have avoided it by over building in the first place.  

I'm afraid to re-weigh after these new axles and tires are on it.  I bet we tip close 4000 empty, which sucks.

Good thing for gears.

the whole key to my truck working well is ground clearance and weigh.  it kinda floats over stuff more than tearing into it.  This spring we are going to barrow a set of 33/12.50's to test and see if more floation is what i need.

The ratio on those axles is 4.10's right? Is there lower numerical ratios you could use? 5.'s?

Just did a quick parts search for 95 LC front axles with locker, 4.10's - $ ranges from $2200 for running axles to $600 for bent axles and that's just the front.

How long has your truck been on stilts?

Yes, you can buy 4.88's as well as 5.29's.

Eh, only about a month.

(little jon voice) YEAH! . That will make that four door unstopible.

For the Yota trucks they have 5:71s
Randys Ring and Pinions.
But what to do for the SYE
I hoping TrailTough has a answer for this when their kit comes out.
