I will be running sn95 rear brakes. Am I leaving anything out? thanks

Gear marking compound or white grease, c-clip elims, axle oil, traction lok additive?

I am thinking about avoiding the c clip eliminators. They have to be welded to the rear, and I have heard that they leak.

Just save yourself the trouble, and do a disk brake conversion in the back. Then you don't need the C-clip eliminators, and you have disk brakes.

He already said he is running sn95 rear brakes.

What are rear brake spacers?
Never heard anyone use that term.

Anynody know which c clips to run with fox stock length axles? I will get them if they bolt on. I need some brand names for this combo to work. I do not want to order pieces that wont work together. Can anybody help?

I'm confused, if I do the sn-95 rear brakes, I do not need the elimintors, why is that?

Because the caliper bracket should hold the caliper and rotor on in case of an axle break. But it's still a good idea, especially if you want to run 33 spline axles or anything bigger than 31's. Honestly I would just run 31 spline c-clip axles and save the money on the whole thing. It takes a lot to break a 31 spline axle! I've used Alloy USA's on my 04 (in my sig) with good success, cheap too!
