Front 60 and rear 10.25. I had a kingpin 60, but decided to sell it because I didnt need a king pin front and got a good offer on it, so Im on the hunt for a ball joint 60.
Im not going to be driving it as much, and I wasnt really ready to swap so Im not going to have as much cash as I hoped I would so for now it will get 5.38's and Im going to weld the front and rear.
I was going to run lunch boxes front and rear, but withouth having to drive it in the snow, Ill save the money and weld them, at least for now.
The rear will get pushed back 3" and the front about another 1.5" or so.
Plan is to run 40's but I might have to settle for what I find used for now. 38-40"
Im a goodyear dealer and Im pricing 40x13.5x17 MTR's which will be the ultimate goal, but even my cost so far is over 500$ a tire.

Im rly liking where this is going. Im also on the hunt for a 60/10.25 combo. Im planning for 37's or 38's though at 4" lift so comp cuts are coming. I'll deff be watching this.

Weight difference would be negligible. Rear 60 is a little smaller than the 10.25, but hey if your gonna do it, do it once, and do it right! Depending on bow you wheel its good for 38+. If you never wanted to go over 37 it would be way overkill.

Overkill isnt a bad thing either. If your axle is way stronger than it needs to be, then you never have to worry about it breaking. I agree. Do it once, do it right.
