Any one know how much clearance the Dana 35 has under it compared to other axles running same sized tires?

I seem to get hung up quite abit. That's really the only time I get stuck. Granted I'm only running 33s and the locker ussually just drags me through. This is really the only reason I'm making the steps towards 35s.

It varies dependent on the ride height of the suspension (how level your beams are).

Mine looks to be right about 11.5-11.6" or so under the diff (35x12.50s @ 32 PSI).

Yeah I have stock coils. With some shimming tto correct the saggyness. So my beams ad pretty damn flat. I notice I plow through most stuff. Idk how much greater a solid aaxle or ifs would do.

Best way to get clearance is to stick the biggest coils or coil spacers in there you can while still being able to align it.

Or stick the biggest camber bushings in you can, then just keep adding washers under the coils until your tires sit straight.
Doing this should give you more clearance than what you'd have with a similar-size solid axle.
