I've the tracker, running 33's at the moment and locked front and rear. I've found that w/ the Hagen mods to the rear (or close to it) I've a little over 36 inches of travel out back. that with the lockers has been awsome. That way I've maintained my roadability and still rock off road. As the old saying goes, make up for what you don't have with what you do.
The three link in the back of these little trucks is solid and flexy with the right tweaking. The front with care can be adiquitely strong, and of course lockers help.
