Good afternoon, all.
Long time since I posted last...
Anyhow, I went down to the local upull yesterday to see what was sitting around and came home rather disappointed and empty-handed. I was for awhile entertaining bumping up to 1 tons, but figure that I'm never going to have this truck in a situation where I'll be needing unbreakable axles.
I'm going to stick with my 12 bolt/Dana 44 combo.
Now... I'm only intending on bumping to 33s, but there's this little thing called "3.42s SUCK" that plagues me. Prior to 33s and any lifting, I need to address the issue. I know that 4.10s are common (despite the fact that I can't seem to locate any) and that I wouldn't need anything necessarily special to make this work. I can assume that 4.56s would need a new carrier, which I am just not up for at this point.
I'll get it done, but the search for re-gearing has been a pain in my ass...
I'm trying to keep it on the budget-minded side of things. Any help/advice/consolation/whatever is greatly appreciated...
