He suggested the axle retainers to suit the brake swap. Once finished you couldn't tell the difference except for the locker airline.

Hi Roady, I have a Eaton e locker in the front Dana 30, which has done all the work (Cape York and back plus around Lithgow area). I would like a locker in the back and decided against an ABR air locker in the Dana 44a, as I said this JK Dana 44 has a Eaton True Trac in it which is basically off all the time until needed which should help the front diff locker.
I have been in contact and discussing it with David at Wooders too over the last 3 months, yes David he is very helpful. It is booked in with Wooders to have the brackets changed over on the diffs in a couple of weeks. Still trying to workout what rubber I need and gears, have both JK 16 and 17 " rims, and want to get to at least 32.X" but not go wild on width maybe 255 or 265 it is currently 245. What gears I end up is another question still being worked on.
Thanks Roady and Hoobz for you input it is very much appreciated.
