sar4x4 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 What are you running for axles and transfer case The pics show 6-bolt axles, that would be GM 1/2 Ton 10-bolt front and rear. They won't stand up to 40" tires off-road! The transfer case would be a NP208 chain drive case with an automatic, but with a manual I don't know...

burdman Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 when i go bigger all 3/4 and 1 ton gear is going underneath, all the axles are heavy duty, everything is sealed water proof. its all half ton at the moment but it wont be for long. i saw your burbon around man i was trying to chase that thing down to buy it for a year then i saw it got some work done and gave up lol. nice burbon. as it is now it will go anywhere do anything and i only have 33s on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Here is my experience. I ran 33s with the 10-bolt (1/2 ton) axles. I did a little bit of rough stuff and a lot of 'fireroads'. I broke the rear axleshafts twice because I had the factory Gov-Lock / limited slip. I never broke any front axleshafts. So I put on GM Heavy Duty 3/4 Ton axles. (4:11 ratio) Which is a 1-Ton 14-bolt full-floater rear, and a GM-10 Bolt front with 8-lug spindles/hubs. And moved up to 35s. And put a Detroit in the back. Well, I'm not going to break that rear with a worn-out 350, and I never broke any axleshafts in the front (which means no rock-crawling). But I couldn't keep front locking hubs in 'er, nor ball joints, and then the pinion bearing went, and another set of wheel bearings. (Swerved all over the road!). So I sold the 10-bolt even with all that bad stuff! I changed the front to a Dana 60 (1 Ton, 4:56 ratio) and have not had any problems! And someday I'll put the matching rear with 4:56 in as well! With the rear locker and Krawlers and ATs (37s) I don't use 4WD all that much, I do more 'fireroads' and light wheelin' than rock crawlin', so I haven't had an issue with two different ratios as long as it's in mud or snow. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdman Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 you do the same as i do man fire roads and mudd holes, maybe a bit of powerline. ill probably go 1 ton its the same work as 3/4 and i hate braking things so. the 350 in my truck is wound rite out, i only have a two berrol carb and it will still slam your head into the back window every time lol. let me know next time you go ill come.
