It may be easier to source another chunk. If there is one close to you.

That is the only thing that has me thinking twice about putting 11.00-20s on my truck if I was able to locate some. They would ride nice but offroad articulation would be compromised a little. I have had my 9.00-20's hit my bed now.... but that was an extreme case of me playing around running a rock over.

You would have to have to have the deuce loaded to weight capacity and on some very extreme terrain to damage anything, especially the axle shaft by rubbing.

The rear most axle sitting on the tires with the weight of the truck on 395s barely rub. When off-roading they rub more.

How much more travel 'til the rear axle hits the bump stops? I imagine it rubs more when the axles articulate side to side.

It's sitting on the bumpstops now with just the rear tires on.

I decided to order a Yukon gear, grizzly locker instead of putting spider gears back in. Let's see how long it takes to break a stock 16 spline axle shaft now.

How much did the Grizzly locker set you back? I browsed a few sites and they listed them in the $470-500 range. Is there a reason you chose the Grizzly over the Detroit locker? Only major differences I could find would be the disengagement teeth are wider and supposedly 350% stronger in the Grizzly than the Eaton (detroit). Grizzly has a 1 year warranty too.

Price was right. Other than that it was one of the first things to pop up when I was searching for Rockwell parts, so I thought i might as well upgrade.
