i am a newbie its a learing thing 4 me i havent put in a lift yet

 

Thats ok, I havent either. How old are you?

 

if you have an 8.25 wheel with that for a while. you seem new to this no need to build the biggest baddest truck out there until your comfortable offroad and driving the rig a 3in lift some armor and good tires will take you a lot of places

 

D60s F/R if you have the money and the skills and you won't break them with the 4.0L and 38s at least.

 

thanks guys

 

I know a guy with a front D30 and rear D35 and he has yukon alloy axle shafts. he runs 37 in. tires with that setup. I never thought it was possible till I saw it.

 

Problem with a D35 is the housing flexes so much that it tries to flex the internal axle parts and something has to give. With a 8.25 or a D44 the housing and the axle shafts are larger diameter and more capable of resisting the flexing.
