ya funny story how i found out my driveshaft was short, i was drivin down a dirt road and i had to slam on my brakes, and i heard a klunk i tried to drive didnt move, i got out and found my drive shaft fell out of the t-case, wish s&m truck world would have mentioned something to me about the fact that i may have wanted to lengthen it
My shop told me there was no need, but i knew better than that. I did too much reading on what needed to be done after the lift to ingnore it completely. I did wait about 2 months to get them done, and they said i was not far from having some destruction after they got them off.

I know the mud grapps wear pretty quickly, but it is ok, I have had boggers and other tires that wear out quick too. It is just part of having what you want. Besides the quicker they wear out the sooner I can put 44's on it. Looking to either go with a BL or adjustable coils.
40’s are a bad idea, 44’s the worst. You should have put a straight axel in there.

ya if your wanting 44's then you would have wanted a straight axel if you want your truck to be any good without breaking parts. i really want 40's but then again i want the use of the truck. maybe 37's one day but i doubt it.

You won't hear any complaining about any of that from me, I have owned lifted trucks for 10+ years, if you wanna play you gotta pay. I Love all of the back-handed compliments on here, I am just showing people my truck not asking for your opinion on how unhappy I will be with this or that, if I wanted complaints about my tires, door handles etc., I would have posted in a forum asking before I bought them asking "Hey guys, what do ya'll think about this?" For all of the people that complimented my truck, Thank You I appreciate it.
