i want to lift my truck(75 1/2 ton) another 10in (so it will be 20 total) and run 44's. it will be a 3in body, shackle flip out back with 3in blocks, and up front 7in drop down hangers. i want to run 1ton axles, but how necessary are they? it all really depends on cost. So HOW MUCH WOULD THEY COST? the truck is never going to see any "real" offroad, just pretty mush be a "pavement pounder," so rag on me all you want, but thats what i want to do with it. so for on street driving would the 44's rip to pieces the 1/2 ton axles, or would they be fine? thanks.
