Good friend of mine, happened to have a dial-indicator and micrometer he let me borrow tonight. So i went ahead and installed my gears and detroit in the axle. Here's some half-*** how-to pics lol.
The disassembled axle.
The naked detroit.
Dial-indicator (left) and 0-1" micrometer (right).
Assembled Detroit (ring-gear and speed sensor ring)
Dial-indicator checking backlash.
Contact pattern
Drive side.
Coast side.

I drive around with my doors off...trucks drive around with their truck beds off completely...toyotas have the bed cut off directly above their tire...I think i'll be ok. I live in Georgia lol.
It will allow the tire to stuff further before hitting the bed (remember, i'm taking the body lift out), and it will be alot less prone to getting pwned by all the rocks on the trail.
