GREAT SITE GUYS!!!
I have a 97 disco SD with a rotoflex.
My considering install 4.10 gears with a rear
DT locker. Besides axles A.K.A (halfshafts)?
is the rotoflex required to replaced?
All opinions welcomed

No , the strain will actually be less on the Roto after the gear swap..

Kyle,

Do you have a rotoflex with your lift? I am in the process of installing RT suspension (2") and was wondering if I need to ditch the rotoflex and go with a u joint? I have heard it depends on the vehicle ...

Thanks,
Murray

I changed over to the joint last year but ran for a few years with around 2" of lift and the Roto. Quite a few friends are running the Roto with lifts and arent really having any trouble.Many actually like it better..

You just have to check it frequetly. Carring a spare would be prudent as well.
