Specs are 231/247 113 I didn't want to go to small and be sorry lol. My question is if I decide to go smaller now can I just swap cams? What other parts would need to be replaced? Thanks

It might take some time but you will learn when driving slow through parking lots just leave the clutch engaged a little and give it a little throttle. Just practice at and you will get the hang of it in no time. Just takes a little getting used to. It won't be long and you will be very happy with your cam choice!!

No machining bro, they should fit just fine. I had no clearance issues. Could of just asked me on Facebook lol.

TBone · 01-28-2014, 08:49 PM

I understand that they need to be machined to fit your diff, no matter which cover you have. Somewhere on JRE's page are the instructions and that is what they say.

This is on their Web page....."NOTE: Final Machining for bore diameter required."

We fit mine without issue. There's a few others running it as well, I can dig up a few threads for reference. Maybe I just got lucky?

Nightmare2012 · 01-28-2014, 08:56 PM

Hmmmm what gears did you go with birm? Maybe I'll get lucky as well

TBone · 01-28-2014, 08:57 PM

Not doubting just going off what they say on their page and, I think, their directions.

Good job calling him out Zeke.

Not trying to do that, but I'm just stating the obvious. He comes in bashing sideways high and mighty. He's got no reason to do that.

I was solid in stance yet tactful and professional in my post, right?
My wife helps me with that stuff usually. Lol. That was me typing and then redoing that 3-4 times to get to final version.
