az-k5 runs 37" MTR's with 1 tons. He drags diff a decent amount but everyone who we run with whether they are 1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton all drag diffs. When you rockcrawl you drag diffs. Before he shaved his 14bff well he drug ALOT more and when he would drag the 14bff it would stop all forward progress. It is just like throwing an anchor out. With it shaved pretty well it will actually drag over things and not stop you cold.
Where the pumpkin is concerned a well shaved 14b44 with 37's is like running an unshaved 14bff with 39's. You can pickup 1" of clearence. You can shave the D60 front some too.
