Just built my wifes jeep JK and I am having a bit of trouble. 6" lift with 37's and 4.56 gears. When I did it I watched all the videos I could find and found a PDF that had all the Dana 44/ spicer torque specs. So tonight we took it for a short trip for her maiden voyage and got sound from the rear end. Brought her back home, jacked her up, and put her in gear. There is a noise coming from what sounds like the pinion area. Sooo I am guessing that I over torqued the the crush sleeve when I torqued the pinion down. It was a new crush sleeve and I and torqued it down to 25lbs. preload. Any ideas or help would be much apreciated.

Well the only way to learn is to do it. This isn't the first set of gears I have installed, just the first set I have had a problem with. Thus the reason I have searched for answers in a forum.
