issues with 35's

[thundermoose]

Looking to jump to 35's
my axles will take it
D44 front Ford 9 rear--hehe

not sure how the driveshaft Ujoints will hold up.
I am locked front and rear
4.0 engine

I have a steering brace on the box..but think I need a plate on the frame??
Mainly not sure how the DS ujoints will hold up.
I am not heavy on the gas, and don't abuse my rig..but I plan on using it.

Looking for input
Thanks

I have been running 1310 ujoints with 37's and have never broken a drive shaft joint. I have still have CV's F/R and but upgraded the drive shafts. I am pretty heavy on the gas as well.

I'm running 35's with my 44/9 inch combo right now. I haven't snapped a front driveshaft U-joint yet. But I'm waiting for the day... That's my worry also. Especially because I've ordered 38 inch TSL SX's and their on their way... Might have to upgrade the front shaft...

unless something binds, you should break your D44 or maybe 9" before you break a driveshaft joint. you should replace all your DS joints with new ones though if they are at all questionable as far as wear.

I hope that 9 inch holds up. 31 spline. If not, I'll have to upgrade to 35 spline shafts... Nothing binds on the front shaft, I've limited the down travel with straps. And the joints are brand new. Cross my fingers and have a spare handy just in case.....

Jumping into 35s is like jumping into water over your head if you cannot swim!

I would suggest you do a lot of research and reading before "mounting some 35s". I read enough to decide on 33s. But it is your decision. :clap:
