I broke my 9" track-lock last month at the RMR. Decided to replace it with a 31 spline ARB. The install was pretty easy although it did require a bit of grinding around the pinion support bearing for clearance. I read a good article over on Pirate about routing the copper air line and decided to give that a try. The line was just long enough. I ran it through some poly tubing in places to keep it from rubbing on the case. I used the same poly tubing to run the blue air line through along the frame. I used a stretched out spring to protect the blue line from the frame down to the diff. While the diff was out I drilled/tapped a hole at the bottom of the housing for a 1/8" pipe plug. The housing is at least 3/8" thick in that area and the plug fits flush on both ends.
BTW, track-lock ring gear bolts are too long to fit with an ARB.
