ordered a m226 master install kit from Steevo along with ring gear spacers
goin to pull the diff out this weekend and see if the tone rings will swap over on the axle shafts or see what i need to do to make them work
then install the jk 4.10 gear set into the m226

ok im a little confused, are the jk axles goin in the m226 housing? if not whats the plan for the lug pattern difference?

[penski61]

no m226 axle are staying just swapping the tone rings

ill keep the spacers im running on the rear axle for the titan swap and get adapters up front

$5 bet to anyone that does not think a custom bed like their 1st gen is next.

Will the jk axles not fit in the m226 housing? If they do that would save the need for adapters and mean chromos would be available ( saw your post on jeep forum and it made sense there for some reason)

[penski61]

biggest reason i dont want to run the jk axle is because i dont really want to buy new wheels , id rather just buy adapters up front
plus i dont know if the axle shafts are the same length


right now im just trying to do the swap on a budget

ok makes sense, wonder if i could get some jeep friends to loan me a pair of shafts for some experimenting...

[penski61]

the other issue is the rotors are different diameters and thickness
so even if the axles were the correct lengths you would run into issues with backing plates,rotors and calipers

i have thought about it lol

Are you going to link the front and rear, or just keep the rear leafed and link the front?
