So i was wondering what you guys could add to the list of crap to do that comes along with upgrading to 35's
ok so heres what i got right now:
rear axle: dana 44 with yukon 4.88's and full detroit. just replaced everything with the brakes except the backing plate, national leaf springs sittin on 5* shims. 1.5" lift teraflex shackles.
front axle: dana 30 . yukon 4.88's open carrier. rock krawler 3-link long arms. full heim steering with 1.5" OD .250 DOM tubing for tie rod and drag link. tnt trac bar and frame mount. smaller, pre-97 ujoints in shafts.
im runnin about 6 inches of lift with plenty of clearance for 35's (i have 33 procraps mud terrains right now) i plan on running 35x12.50 r15 MTR's on 15x8" rims.
at the same time that i get these tires i get the c-rok steering box reinforcement plate.
i would like to run a aussie front locker sometime after i get these tires and just carry spare shafts and weld in the ujoints. but with aired down 35's on a dana 30 should i just forget about it or go for it. i hear some people snap shafts like their toothpicks, ive heard others say they havent ever had a problem. would i be ok if i just carried spares? (BTW im too broke to afford alloys right now) should i just leave it open?
im generally pretty easy on the throttle when crawlin and on the trail.
please. any input is welcome
thank you
