Yep. Do they just go on top of existing one?

Yes you just cut the old coil mounts off and cut part of the shock mounts off and weld to what is left works great. Plus pass side has built in track bar mount. Also going to add sway bar tabs.

I wouldn't need sway bar tabs or trackbar mount, already have the rustys mount. I just like how you set up the shock tabs.

Just read through the entire thread, Nice work I must say. Quick question are any of those running an actual locker in the d30? Though the trutrac seems to be working quite well.

TNT has an Elocker. I just don't care to pony up the dough for a locker. Truetrac works good and a lot safer and works better in the snow.

LMFAO.... Really dude? Truetrac(called Torsen) comes factory in 670 hp Shelby Mustangs and the front axle of Raptors. But you broke one with your Ranger? Truetrac is a full case forged limited slip. Aussie are fine if you are on a budget but no where near the strength of a Truetrac. I install Aussie all the time for customers who don't have the money for a full case locker or a Truetrac.

Went thru three on an s10 for a friend,then finaly he put up the money for a detroit,and yes ive broke them in my ranger,could be factory defects,or made in china parts,could be junk.either way the pile of parts speaks for itself. Aussies are cheap I agree,but ive never broken it,but I have been brutal to it

Thanks. I agree it the trutrac is easier on parts etc but would argue its better in the snow(spooled front locked rear on my 98f150 which is my dd/wheeler) than a locker. I wonder in the d30 would hold up to a locker and 35s on a ranger.

Ever thought about mass producing those front bumpers? Really looks good imo :)

I don't think we are talking about the same thing. Your buddy probably had a G80 which is a piece of junk. I have installed close to 100 Truetracs and never had one break. So your story smells fishy. Sorry I am not buying it. Show me a pic of a broken one that came from your Ranger then I will believe.

When I say better in the snow I mean handling not traction.

And I may start mass producing that bumper this Spring.
