Thread: 4.11s

I got mine direct from Ashcroft in the UK, you can buy them online. I think this is the cheapest way. I paid $850 for the pair landed.

Reverse cut are good, it means they will run quieter and from memory they are stronger. Ashcroft dont use reverse cut but they seem fine.

Just be aware of the difference between 4.1 and 4.11. Most of the gears from the US are 4.1 and are much weaker and easier to break.


I would not think you would need to worry about pegging if running 33's. I have not done it to run 35's.

The reverse cut gears are ONLY for the front

I've had my KAM gears in for 4 years, unpegged, with 35 simex, It hasn't done many kays But they've been fair ****in abused...2 county CV's worth without issue

I am looking at doing the same thing, what are the KAM 4.11s worth, do they ahve a reverse cut for the fronts as well and does anyone know how they compare to the ashcroft ones?

Adam,
when did you buy yours, the site lists then at 195 pounds per set which is about $890 without freight, and did that include anything else like setup shims and seals? I got a price from Great Basin Rovers including reverse cut fronts for a bit over a $1000 landed. They also have a heavy duty set about $1200 landed. Either set 4.11s not 4.1s.

Cheers,
Pete

Yea, reverse cut front, I paid about 600 for the front new, as I had a 9" rear at the time, then got a second hande rear at a later date

I bought mine about 2 years ago.
But thinking about it now, I organised a group buy and we bought 5 sets which is why we got such a good price

The expensive part is getting them installed.

If you can get them from US then it will be cheaper because of the exchange rate. Just make sure they are 4.11's. When I enquired 2 years ago GBR could only supply 4.1's.

$80 to set up a diff propper aint the expensive

2hrs labour, but include 250 for bearings and oil seal aswell

Setting up pinions is not as simple as setting up crown wheels, its something you need to get right, you also need the gear......Jig and known measured spacers and feeler gauges......and shims
