 | running that much tire through the stock 7 5/8" axles is not a good idea. I would upgrade for sure. you might have to buy a new carrier depending on the series and whats available for that rear. if you have to buy a carrier, then you might as well upgrade.

I may do that down the road. And if I go all out and upgrade, it will be more then just a beefed up rear axle, I would to an SAS. But for now, I do not think I am going to abuse it enough to see major negative affects. I have considered every option presented to me over the last few months, and since this will be a daily driver as well as toy, then I think the 33's will suffice. If I was going to build a rig that could be only off-road friendly, then first off I would not sue this particular vehicle, and would go straight to an SAS.

| Whoa, Why dont you tell us what kind of truck you have, May be cheaper and easier to just swap out the axles to heaver axles. Last time i didi gears was on a dana 60 front and a FF14 rear, Those are worth changing the gears out in. If you have a 10 bolt rear end, then save some cash and upgrade to a 12 botl with 9.5 ring gear fist. Then you have soemthing that will hold up to 35s. If you have IFS in the fornt then you have ot do a gear swap. If not then you can find a better/stronger front end and just bolt it in and save soem coin.

| I'm so confused again. I bought a rearend for my Burb I had at a junk yard the OEM one was a locker the used one wasn't it would only start spinning both wheels at a certain speed. I had some cheapo Pep-Boys mudd tires on her at one time those things did real good better than some Michelin LTX I had when I sold it. PS-Listening to some oldies killing time.
