Re: New guy
Thanks for the welcome, To start with what kind of power can a stock suspention hold, Thats with rebuilding the rear end axles, spool, etc.

Re: New guy
Hey lbt, welcome to the board. First maybe go on over to the welcome area and introduce yourself. Then we'll need to know a little more about your truck and where it stands now, and what your plans are.

Re: New guy
Welcome to the board
If you're planning to get serious with the power in your truck, you might want to check out the Racing and High Performance forum here. There are several guys racing with stock style rear suspensions. The truck 12 bolt can be built to withstand a good amount of power as well. Of course that depends largely on what tire you are planning on running.
