I was afraid of that.guess I'm going to have to suck it up and buy new lockers front n rear .I have been sitting on new boggers for 3yrs .38.5x15. need to open my fender wells too anyway to get them under it without more lift.

What gear ratio do you plan on running and what type of driving do you intend to do with those 38" Boggers?"

Honestly Sir, unless it's gonna be a street truck the 1/2 ton axle set wont live long on 38" boggers, small pinion shafts, smaller diameter ring gear, smaller axle shafts, weak stub shafts, and small u-joints are all on borrowed time not to mention the housings don't hold up well either.

If it is a street truck why bother with the expense of locking differentials, just run em the way they are.

You'll be money ahead saving up parts for a 1 ton swap while being gentle on the stock axles as opposed to investing in cool parts for the stockers.
