Now I had to take mine out because I didn't get it aligned just perfect like Terry said and broke the active spacers a few months later. BUT, should you break an axle shaft and have to take it apart you might encounter the same situation I did. It's not the most common thin to happen, but it has happened; the c-clip manages to increase in diameter somehow and sometimes won't come out that slot........don't say I didn't warn ya before you put it in, sometimes being pro-active is the best fix.

This happened to me: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=917883

10 hrs to get a c-clip out
Dude, it totally broke because you didn't tighten it a 1/4 turn past badass.

Gotten some stuff to add to this build thread, the rear dif cover has been replaced for a Crane unit, and the lug nuts were just replaced with some anodized blue ones.

This winter i hope to have the rocker replacement done, unibody stiffeners welded on, half door finished, and start on the rear bumper with tire carrier.

flexing it out, longer shocks and brake lines up front would help
