I was wondering if anybody has tried putting front arms, hub carriers and spindles from a 3.0 on there 2.0. I believe the 3.0 has 15 degrees of caster instead of the 20 degrees on the 2.0. Seems like it would be alot cheaper option than getting the aluminum inclined blocks if it works.

Has anybody converted their 2.0 to a 3.0? I was looking through the parts list and its seems like it would be cheaper than buying a 3.0.

After I rebuilt them and broke them in I can't believe how different they feel. They are very smooth and you can actually feel a difference between the front diff with 5k and the rear with 2k. I'm looking forward to getting it to the track and to see what kind of difference this makes. The diffs were so bad I am planning on getting a shock rebuild kit next! Anybody else have this experience?

They all were nice and smooth after that and no leaks, before the diffs leaked because they were not closing all the way!
