I guess you missed the 2wd zf part eh that that carrier came out of? It was a parts truck to me.Like I said man, I looked in to them and couldn't find a 10.25 specific so I really didn't want to mess with it. The opinion stating that a crush sleeve would work fine was from Randys ring and pinion, not me. Also, you stated your running 38s with a turbo. I'm naturally aspirated on smaller yet wider than stock 245/75/16. Also 2wd so no multiplier from a t case. I'm not saying you're wrong, or that a crush sleeve cant fail, or that I'd rather have a crush sleeve over a solid spacer, just repeating what Randys ring and pinion said and pointing out that there's less stress on my drive train than yours. If you found a 10.25 specific solid spacer, I would love a link and would buy one for sure

I will be running 38's however I do not plan on PULLING with my truck as you have said you did with yours and smoked your clutch...so what happens when you regear the clutch holds and you sled pull....
The 9" CSEK is fine it fits perfect other than having to do a small radius on inside edge to fit the radius of the pinion. I took mine to a buddies borrowed his lathe and with a small dremel was able to make a nice radius tailored to the pinion. You can do it by hand just fine I just have access to stuff...
Just sayin...
