very good point steve we always buy the wheels first...and build around that! No point in getting the rear diff first then being limited to what you can run for wheels???

Then just do the math backwards: Subtract brake thickness, check clearances, etc. I credit Mark Stielow with showing me that idea.
Or you can just call DSE since they have done this a million times since the Mule was built.
