Centering The Front Differential

[tonydamato]

Who has centered their front differential to allow for the use of the same half shaft in all four corners?
Any tips? Did you use any of the available kits? Does it provide room for the 12K brake conversion?

Thanks Guys, This group has been great since joining!

They talk about this on the Hummer network.

Only REV trucks have 12k brakes...all A2's,ECV, M1151, M1152 etc...have 12in rotors....A2 used vented, latter used solid.
only the REV uses Wilwood brakes.
AFAIC, Recentering the diff is a waste of time...

Has anyone centered the diff? What all has to be changed? I like the idea of all four half shafts being the same size so you only need one spare. I see there are kits for around $500 available but just curious if there are just brackets or if you have to change any motor related parts also.

I am sure someone has done it. Makes no sense / cents to me. Throttle modulation, take it easy, wheels the ground if you can and no sudden moves. Yes, it can happen a la SNAP BANG. Watch the Utuber busting them. Then don't do that. It's all I can do to keep air in the tires. If they ever made the H4... now that would be something to think about, along with a few others ideas.

Intrested myself. The Idea of one spare in the backcountry is a good Idea in a vehicle with limited storage. I'm planning on a trip to BIg Bend. So space will be taken by camping gear, tools, spares, and extra fuel. I've looked into it but $500 for a few brackets seems like a bit much.

I would think AMG offset the diff for a reason....

If for some??? Reason we don’t go to haspin
that will be at the top of our to do list.
It would be nice to only carry one extra
wheel shaft.
