I've got the same front axle with factory shafts and LSD and wouldn't in my life run bigger than my 35's...44s would just break axle shafts and differentials and driveshafts like a twig... 42's weigh like 200+ pounds lmao fuck this truck isn't anything more than a cruiser, he said it used to be a mud truck
People will run a 10 bolt or 44 on big tires and over 300hp and replace shafts every trip lol doesn’t sound fun to me but to each their own..As long as you got a full floater in the back or an Eaton even you don’t ever have to fuck with the rear
I've actually had good luck with a corparate 10 bolt running 44 gumbos for about 12 years almost every weekend out in the mud . The key is making sure the ball joints are good and the front tires are over half bald lol. I've only broke 2 axles and that was due to bad ball joints and also only running about 300 horse.
My dad had one with a 383 stroker, 38" super swampers and I cant remember lift size, probably 10 or somewhere close to that. He loved that truck and when he had me he had to sell it. Edit: it was an 87 chevy by the way
@@adventureswithvehicles7335 You sir are a real man. That's a truck that a real man drives. I love it and want a square body jacked up like that with big 44's or even bigger.
Not 1 bit of mudding was done with a mudding truck... c'mon maaan, sling that mud like it's meant to be and then you can hose it off. Kinda bummed but still a badass truck
I know you won't actually respond but for the sake of 99% of the viewers why for the love of God why would you put an obs front clip on? Literally ruins the truck for me personally
just like it was a shame 30 years ago how many 60's cars were turned into crappy race cars, I just cringe at how many 70's/80's trucks are turned into the 8"+ lift 40"+ tire pieces of crap
