I think I’ve reached the limit of my stock 44. I want to put a selectable locker in and was think I should upgrade the gears at the same time. I did a little research and came across the Jana 54 set. This sounds interesting to me but I have never setup gears and don’t fell like trying now especially with this upgrade. Is there a shop or someone that has experience with this? Point me in the right direction if you know of someone.

@I Lean is a Jana54 wizard
....who also doesn't want to set up anyone's gears. ;)

I think it's a good setup to increase strength, but it is quite a bit of extra work and fiddling, so I'd expect a shop to charge you at least double what a normal setup would cost. (if not more....there is machining to the carrier needed, as well as significant grinding inside the housing)

I think I read on their website that if you buy the carrier/locker from them with the kit it will be machined.
I think I would feel a little better with a shop who has done this before. But maybe I’ll go around to some local shops and see what they say.
