Not too sure on what size clears in the rear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that out the hard way. was running 18psi and blew the diff housing to peices. now I run them at 24psi and have now probs at all Edited 02/02/12 11:28 AM by xr84dr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
