Re: Rear gears

Absolutely. But,here on this website where we come to ask or give advise to our fellow members we can give general information painlessly and willfully. I was not offering thorough and complete instructions on how to do this,which is what manuals are for,but simply explaining how simple the full-floating Corporate rears are to do gear changes on compared to most other rears due to the "drop-out" design. There is no "set-up",special skills,or special tools required. Anyone with a lick of mechanical skill can do this. If it were a half ton or Dana60 I would have recommended letting a professional handle it or buy a complete assembly in the desired ratio. I never used a manual to swap my gears because it's so simple all you need is common sense and some degree of mechanical aptitude.
