Wow dude...I hope that works...those size of tires will need some nasty low gears and Dana 60 axles....but otherwise, you win the trophy for most extreme G2X on a driveway.

Meh, the Ford 9" with Chromo shafts will be fine with those tires, and in theory the 44 up front with Chromos will last at least a trip to the trail/mud pit I kid Boondox
Everyone seems to be on a D60 trip. Like those axles are the only thing out there, and the money for them will grow on trees! For a decent set of front and rear 60's, you'd be set back $2500, minimum, or for even a 14 bolt for the rear. And in my opinion, a D60 front needs a f/f 14 bolt in the rear. A little sawzall action for some clearance and off you go!
Thanx for the support. I was going to run it even if people said not to, due to $$$. I'm going to be easy on it for awhile to make sure everything works right. Then work my way up or if a trailer is around!
Sweet! That's what I'll be doing as well. Doing side work this weekend (350Z needs some race parts!) so I can get my driveshaft built. I'll be using those Tom Woods Superflex joints to get the drop I need. 12.5" of articulation, damn driveshaft just can't keep up!
You're truck is looking great!
Have you looked into the tone ring pinion to get your speedo working?
I have gps for the time being to tell me the speed. I think my warrenty is already done for. I know i need to tweek and mod the suspension after i get it up and running. The driveshafts are going to kill me on $$$

i look at the gps too for speed
my speedo is about 10 mph off after the SAS[/b]
Yes, but your Speedo actually works. His is run strictly off of his wheel speed sensors, which are now sitting in a pile somewhere.
