1 Ton Axle Regear. Part 1 - 14 Bolt Upgrade to 5.38

In this video we regear a GM 10.5” 14 bolt full float axle. The axle was swapped into our 1972 GMC Jimmy from an ‘80s k30. Previously it had 4.56 gears but it was time to go low and drop to 5.38s!
Eric has built many axles and shares some tips and tricks from his experience.

What companies are making good rebuild kits as far as bearing/races and who makes a quality crush sleeve eliminator?
