what axles are you using.
I was orig running 36x15x15 on my 64 4 x 4 panel and pulling a trailer(across the scales=16,000#) and those 1/2t axle brgs didn't appreciate it. I did change over to 3/4t axles(no more problems).
took my detroit w/5 spd o/d out and put in a 283-t5 in . put in an independent np205 years ago and 32x12.5x15 tires but I think that I will be going to narrower tires in future(no more cracked frame)
20 years of driving it brings me to these conclusions
