I spent the extra money. And got the yukon crushless kit. The master rebuild kit came with 2 crush sleeves. I tried my hardest to get one of then to set and crush, no matter how hard I tried my impact would not crush it, enough even having a pipe wrench on it and always left play front to rear. So i used the sleeve as a base for the crushless. Ended up using the 7 ish thousand shim only. Cutting it close.
The pinion patter is on the acceptable side but is slightly close. Tried withouta shim and somehow it was to far out. Thankfully i found and old and i mean old micrometer. Shimming the carrier was the easiest part with the assortment from yukon.

Almost complete. Autozone screwed me and ordered the wrong axle seals. They ordered the front.
