haha! with all this last min axle ideas you might have it in the bag!

So, I know this isn't really the place to ask but what does ATR stand for? (I have a feeling i should know it lol)

Sweet! thanks.

I saw you picked 5.38's, that is what I would run. I have a buddy who runs 40" tires and he said going from 5.13 to 5.38's made all the difference on the highway. He said it would gear hunt 65-75MPH and keep going from 3rd to 4th non stop. but with the 5.38's it has the proper balence. (its his DD)

all these 1 tons setups makes me want to do mine again... doing the axle work was a blast!

Not tonight, I work seven days a week now as of 2 weeks ago. Sucks because I have always had the time- but not the funds, now I have the funds-but not the time. Funny how that works

Well I have been debating them quite a bit lately since I don't personally know any one with either gearset, but that right there sold me on 5.38's!
Ya Its way fun ha,I just did my 8.8 in may and helped a couple buddies do theirs recently. If the money is there it is fun and easy,if its not then its frustrating and time consuming.

I hate it when that four letter word (work) gets in the way of a build.
