When you have hydro-assist, and it still pulls hard to one side, you KNOW you have issues.

Screw ball joints! I went through nine sets on my 30!! Good thing for autozones warranty, Hopefully the 60's hold up better... so cory are you thinkin about swapping in a 60 now with those massive tires or just gonna try to keep the 44 alive?

Just under 700... I know, I know- thats alot BUT i am certain i will never have to worry about them.. 4340 35 spline, 1.5" at the splines then necks up to 1.75" the rest of the way.Not to mention the lifetime warranty, They make my FF sterling shafts look downright puny

Gonna take out a mortgage on your home? Just playin, those are sick but PRICEY! Then again i have no room to talk.. Then your weak point would be your R&P, or balljoints, or hubs.

Compared to the money, time and effort it would cost to put a 60 under, RCV's are the easy way out. Not too worried about the R & P, Balljoint... meh.. I'm 2 years on the original set, not sure how long the guy before me was running them. And I can replace hubs on the trail all day, as long as the shafts and R & P stay together... there has to be a weak link somewhere. I've only broken one hub, and how many shafts?

And here is me next big upgrade...

King 2.0 14" travel.

Yeah baby!

I'll have to put a tape on it and see how wide she is...

I also put a new tie rod on it Friday... I was tired of the V.

Here she is after some fun on Saturday...

Haha, looking at this stuff off my phone app sucks. Air shocks are bad *** to!
So what did you do with your old tires?
