Please, clutter it up
Feel free to check out our YouTube channel, we've gone into each of those items fairly in-depth. Yes I have the Rebound Pros. I think it's a great system. I've had traditional beadlocks in the past and these are SO much easier to own, from easier installation to not having to re-torque the bolts all the time, to not leaking, etc. I'll offer a disclaimer that I work for ICON so you can take that for what it's worth. I love these Rebound Pros but I'll be replacing them soon with a new wheel ICON has coming out (more info on that soon )
Are you referring to the Grimmjeeper calculator? I know it can look a bit complex on first glance but keep in mind there are a lot of optional fields you don't need to fill out. You'll have to look up the gear ratios for the 10-speed and the low-range for whichever transfer case you have (high range will be 1:1). Note there are 2 columns. Work your way down the left column first, with all of your specs as you are set up now. Transmission gear ratios, transfer case high and low range, your tire size and current differential ratio. Everything else you can leave blank. Then work your way down the right-hand column with whatever setup you're planning to go with. Most will stay the same (trans, transfer case, etc.). There's a handy copy-over button for each section that lets you copy the data from the left-hand column to the right so you don't have to re-type it. Once all that is in you can play around with changing just the diff gears or tire size, or both. At the bottom there are charts that give you things like crawl ratio, rpms at highway speeds, etc.
@ryannshit should have some feedback, his swap is driving now.
Yup, I have the 5.29 Nitro kit installed and it is running smoothly. I am very pleased with the performance but I am still not passed the break in period to drive it how I normally do. I did quite a bit of freeway driving this weekend where I had to take it up to 70-75 mph and I have zero complaints and don't think the overall top speed will be impacted much. 5.29 feels solid for the 37x17x13.5 ridge grapplers I'm running on my Badlands non-sas MT.
My case is complicated by the FAD (front axle disconnect) on my M190, making it pretty much mandatory that I get the ProCal tuner to correct for that. If it was just gear ratio and tire size I could probably adjust for that in Forscan but I don't think anyone has figured out a Forscan solution for the FAD delete yet. I know @Just_Jim was working on it but as far as I know he wasn't able to do it and still has the FAD unit zip-tied to the frame
Nope, I broke down and got the Ford tuner to finally eliminate all FAD components.My case is complicated by the FAD (front axle disconnect) on my M190, making it pretty much mandatory that I get the ProCal tuner to correct for that.

Sorry, please explain this to me like a child. I keep reading about deleting FAD - I guess I don’t understand. Are you getting rid of the ability to lock your front differential? OR is it the opposite. You have a differential that is unable to lock and you need to delete those components. I dunno why I can’t get this concept through my thick head.
Thanks. I guess I was getting terms confused and didn’t realize there was an entirely different component that only a few combinations of trim and package have. I now have done more homework - but, your description had led me on the correct path.
