Please inform as to how you like them. I have been looking into these but they have been out of stock for a long time. I have heard good and bad about them. Bad mainly from the big guys who run 35" + tires. I hope to hear good but keep us in the loop. Thanks dude and congrats!!

I would call and ask them. but I would run it lol, With a pop locker a little tight is better then loose...

Not too familiar with the dana 35 but do you have to use thrust washers? If so buy some thinner ones and it will increase your gap.

Does it unlock in the spin test?
As Long as it unlocks it should be fine, if your worried, get a different thickness thrust washer. Measure yours with a vernier caliper and go to the dealer and order some a couple thou thinner.
