I run them and have had no issues with cvs and front locker.
my zook was on 32 mongrels but ive just changed to 34 swampers so heres hopeing.
if you own a die grinder they take around 5 minutes per side to clearance, your only removing a little bit more than some casting marks maybe 1.5 mm in the corners.
its a good chance to rebuild your hubs and repack you wheel bearings.
they would have to be a hell of a lot stronger than no rings,maybe not 26 spline cromoly strong but a lot better.

I ran them once. Broke short side on my first outing.
Was second hand though so it may have been worn.
