Hmmm, if you beat on it hard enough, it'll most likely break the outer shafts.

It wont last long. I'm only running 31s but I'm upgrading to a D35 and locking it, the D28 will not last.

Well, i've got a locked 35 and 31's, and just blew up my driver side shaft with no difficulty, so i doubt a 28 would last long.

Well, you truck is IFS and uses CV joints... But yes a locked d28 wont last long and it will be a waste of time, find a D35 and be done with it.
