    Just did mine today. 2 - 1/4 turn ball valves, a couple of quick connects, a chain and binder. Levelling valve is on the center axle, so could do the front too if I could be bothered. 3 axle RGN.

    Could have sworn I saw bolt on lift kits, in LandLine Mag, for front live drive axles.

    Then what is the axle interlock switch for? Jane that to lock in the front drive axle?

    The interlock switch is to lock the power divider between the front and rear axles. The power divider itself is basically a differential, that allows the front to turn at a faster rate than the back (for going over bumps). It is not recommended to be locked in for long periods of time, at higher rates of speed.

    What does one of these axles weigh anyway?
