as for right now.. im gonna do it so i can clear 35s.... and when i got some extra cash im thinkin of re archin the leafs 8" or 10"..and on top of that i already got the 3" bodylift,it'll be big but not so big that i want turn all four pieces of rubber! theres a few trucks on youtube thats huge but not enough motor to turn the tires so im stickin with between 35" and 40" tires.. and ill eventually have to do somekind of hydro assist steer

very nice man, should look awesome.

This thread reminds me that I've had a dana 44 and 14 bolt both with 4.10 gears sitting in my pole barn for almost a year now. I'm basically doing the same thing...eventually.
