Re: 1989 Suburban with 5.3LS/700R4

Lockers IMO are what kills the ten bolt in offroad situations. If you have an open diff then you should be ok. Your front ten bolt (Going by the year) will be a 30 spline wich is the strongest of the ten bolts. I run 37''s on my 30 spline 10 bolt and all I ever brake is the U-joint I have never actually broken the axle itself. You can still drive home on this.
