Thanks!

send me a 29 spline 8.25 so I don't give your competition (Spartan) $..

33s will be a good test platform. I'll be testing your original Aussie locker in a HP Dana 30 with 35s soon. I've been running with 33s with no problems for two years now. Now lets see how the locker holds up switching to 35s.

I'm sure I won't have any problems.

Wow! That's good info to hear. At what point did you have to change the springs, what was the locker doing or not doing before the change was made?

Added edit: How often do you get off road? Rocks? When I'm back in the states, if I'm lucky I'll get off road about once a month.
