First hand experience Aussie Locker and LARGE tires?

Looking at some Aussie Locker to save a little. But I do light off-road and nothing too extreme. Mostly hunting and fishing in places others cant go. I have 38.5 TSL SS and putting in new gears and lockers. I thinking hard about Aussie up front. Just wanted first hand experiences with guys with large tires 37+. Did a search and was getting a little info here and there but nothing solid I guess. Thanks.

I have F&R aussies on 33s and it works perfectly. I dont see a problem with you running 37s on them. they're essentially stronger than spider gears, so unless you're running some ridiculous amount of ponies at the tires, you aren't going to break anything.

I have a rear Aussie on my 94 with 33's. Works perfectly. My buddy has a front and rear Aussie setup and he is on 35's without any issues. Except for roundabouts and parking lots he loves his

35's, 5.29, Aussies F/R. Pulled my rear third to check it after a year or 2. No issues.

33s & 35s seems to be the norm for many guys. I was thinking about possibly a trade for 35s but i'm holding out... Just a little concern...

I don't have any first hand experience with Aussies, but I am looking to regear and get Lockrights in the front and rear. I will be running them with 33's but hopefully I will be able to move up to 35's when the 33's are worn out. Everyone I have talked to said they haven't had any problems with them, but most guys I have talked to are running either 33's or 35's...
