Ahhh....forgot about that writeup.
So you are going full knuckle.
Not all of the 35 beams have the deep overlap like those ones. But that is ideal.
I also think he overdrove and offset the knuckle too deep like I did the first couple times we tried it in the 90s....which moves the axle centerline from optimum. I seen that truck at an off-road park in mich and that is what I suspected....but he had reported no notable issues.
Definitely worth doing if running 35 inch or larger tires
