I recently bought a 2012 BR with about 400 miles. It has Gorilla axles all the way around, a 3" lift??(guessing) and 31" outlaw tires. Every so often the passenger rear axle will pull out of the housing. Maybe not the correct terminology.....see pic.
BR Axle

I put it in neutral, slide it back in by hand, and keep on rolling. It's never completely pulled out. I'm "minimally mechanically" inclined by seems like there should be an easy fix.

There is a clip or "set ring" on the shaft end. Replacing this could help.
But if the lip has become worn on the inside then the main case inside will need to be replaced.

I replaced the set ring and still no luck.....Is there another ring (oversized), I can try? What parts would I need to replace the inside of the main case?

Well. That sucks.
Oversided! I'm sure you could but where to find... IDK.

How sure are you that there on the right sides? They are different sizes Left and Right.
One may look to fit but it will be fully compressed while the other one will pull out like yours did.
IDK which one is witch.

The right side appears longer than the left and in researching that should be correct. The set ring I ordered previously was a Honda. I called Gorilla Axle and they said their set rings are different than Honda's. I ordered a set and will give it a try.
