    That's what I was beginning to wonder too, depends where it is rubbing. Could it be a defective locker that's pulling or pushing the axles forwards or back as well just enough to where it rubs?

    Starting to consider that but it never made a sound before the locker. And it's not like I've been offroading recently lol...
    I had a reputable shop install the locker. And after I heard the sound the 1st time I brought him the entire truck and he removed the 3rd and the locker to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. Spoke to yotamasters and they recommended tac welding them in. So I bought brand new ones and tacd then in. Same sound lol.

    A few thoughts :

    1. Hoooooly wow !

    2. Why are my shorts so tight and wet ?

    3. So that's how you fit a CO and a bypass on a linked short bed and still have full articulation.

    Even if I had a laser I would be lost. Will a alignment tell? Just odd that they didn't rub at all and now they do. Haven't barely even hit a speed bump lol I was gonna just throw them away but they seem fairly important

    Just leave them out, they are just deflectors to help keep the oil in the center section. My truck has been without them for almost a 100k, nothing bad has come of it.

    In two months or so I will have these for sale. Switching links to be able to cycle my suspension correctly. The fault is with my truck, not these links. Professionally welded, feature a front 1" uniball and rear 1 1/4" heim joint. Approximately 51" long, can be a bit longer if you unscrew the rear heim joint more.

    I'm gonna try to remove the baffles. Not sure if my garage is wide enought to even remove the axle shafts. Might have to pull them out half way only.

    You 2nd gen guys, these were designed for a 2nd gen dcsb. Would make a great daily driver link set up, or even a traditional 3/4 link. Someone pull the trigger.
