Re: will this work?

this is my dd, I drive 15 miles a day. The steering and suspension are good now and by next fall I would like to have a better axle or upgrade what I got.

my steel is good so no sawzall. I would run my 35s this winter as they are a awesome in the snow and ice tire compared to the tsl. so I got some time, but not money. new driveshafts are expensive, especially if I am looking at new springs. I was hoping that a 3in body lift would do it but I dont think it would work.

If I buy these tires I will have to in the morning or someone else will, I really dont have time to see what will work (driveshafts, clearance, brake lines, steering)

the gearing will have to be addressed, but I think I can get away as i sit with 4.10. I have a locker in the 60 and I can smoke the times when I hammer it. I run about 2100 rpm at 50-55.

ultimately, you can not hit the bogs here without 40's and locked, until then I am just a pavement pounder.
