should i have kept my aussie???

hey everybody

well a few months ago i bought a Aussie locker as i wasn't planning on replacing my worn 33s till summer. well turns out as an early christmas present i got some 35 inch kumho muds itll be the first set of new tires ive had since i had the jeep (3 sets of tires, all be used)

i ended up selling my Aussie to a member here, whos running a dana 30 and 36 inch TSLs and he didn't have any problem with that, when i asked him about it.

was i right by selling the aussie since im going to 35s, or should i have kept it and gone easy on the skinny pedal

Should have kept it. Like said above Aussies have no tire limit you can run on 49's if you break it its still warrentied.

Check that out, you'll definately appreciate the AussieLocker company much more having read it! And you definately should have kept it.

No big deal, it's not like you can't get them on the internet for under $200.

I ran one in my old TJ on 35s with the 30 for about a year with no problems what so ever.

i would do it. but i wouldn't dump any more money into the 30.

if you regear it you will hate yourself when you blow it up.

and 33's locked would walk all over 35's open.

hell 31's locked would walk all over 35's open
