Alright, so heres the deal. First off me being a young one and starting to get into offroad excuse any retardedness i might have lol. When I get my lift and everything I want to run with 35" mud tires. A buddy is sayin that 35s are reachin the limit of my front axel (all stock). Which with the reasearch ive done seems like that is true. The truck will be used for offroad a decent amount. But i am wondering if there is anything I can do to my existing font axel, diff, ect to make it able to handle 35s? Or would the only way be doing an axel swap, and if so what kind of axel would I use? Probably wonnt be for quite a while cause funds are low. But I want to get all the stuff planned to I can just do it when i get the dough. Already know a decent amount about trucks and all the **** I gotta do. Pretty much helped build my friends truck lol, just to state that im not out in the blue on this.

 

its a straight axle? and most people have 35's on a 6" lift and do fine with them you shouldn't have any problems at all

 

No it is not a solid axel. I wanna say CV axel but that might be somthing else. Anywho i do not belive so. Is that bad if it isnt?

 

stock setup is IFS and youll be fine with 35"s people run 35"s with just a 3" BL no problems at all

 

Yeah cause Ive been gettin confused. Some people are sayin my frigin axels will snap if I go offroad into deep mud. which would make me very sad lol.

 

your gonna be limited just like any other truck trying to drive into thick mud which isnt good really for any truck without solid built axles. its independent of tire size

and anything youll break a cv shaft not the axle

 

i think you will be fine with 35's. your motor will prolly bog down before you break a axle shaft.

 

Alright cool, least I know this now. This is better then other forums on the fact that ppl actually answer my questions lol. Hopfully I can start the whole project with the truck within this year

 

What engine? Id go prolly 4.88 Gears if I was gonna be doing alot of mudding and Bogging in deep thick mud

 

just don't be aggressive with your truck when you go mudding like going through ruts at 30 mph, take it slow, crawl through the mud and you should be fine.

 

Oh yes, Ive taken it slow the past couple times lol. buddy of mine went through a big rut goin fast an pretty much killed his truck lol., And i have the 4.6 v8 engine

 

What kind of tire are you thinking about going with? Make sure you don't get hung up with that long box haha.

 

I was thinkin about goin with mickey thomson baja claws. Want to get 35s. But untill i get the lifts I may just buy a used set of 33s. Because with no lift i can just fit them on to the truck

 

LMAO. Itold the guy who said my axle would snap as soon as i went into mud. Told him what you guys said. He goes "well they are retarded" lmao. Then again I guess thats what happends with people that drive rangers, always think they are right hahahahahaha
