starting off with the 63 inch wide 9 inch. I'm going to be running 539 gears. So that should give you an idea of what tire size I'm going to be running.

As usual my plans went out the window. Lack of funding amazing how stuff always happens. So now I'm looking for a set of d44 housings and 2 sets of axles.


The new plan and the one I already have parts for.
37" tires
4" over front and rear
Coil overs up front
Drop the truck down as low as I can go and finish the cage.
Then run the dog shit out of it.

Looking good man, a lot of progress. By chance did you check you caster at bump n droop? It's a good idea to have some caster left at droop.

As long as there's a few degrees left at the point of full droop you relieve stress off the steering box. On my old 2wd truck it was 10 or so at ride height, +2 at droop and + 25 or so at full tuck. The big thing is having some caster through out the whole cycle, it eases the load on the steering components. Basically you want the tires falling left/right vs plowing or scrubbing left/right. At the same time excessive caster at your normal street driving points within the cycle makes the truck feel squirrelly. It's a trade off.
