The good ol' Dana 35 I don't think I'll go over 32's on it though, and maybe not 32's with stock gearing. I have stock tire size right now, and when I bought it, it had some decent all terrains on it with a lot of tread. So my plan is to run them until I need new tires, THEN re-gear for bigger tires

I agree, I'd like to go 4.10 on 32's maybe 33's. I do have a job though, not makin' a whole lot but WAY ahead of a lot of kids my age

Yes i have a 3 inch rustys full pack lift, they dont rub on the front but on the rear they rub sometimes in a crazy section (no rear swaybar)

N20- I bet he would, im not saying its the best im just saying its "do able" i would highly recommend re gearing for anything 33 or higher. It would significantly increase your transmissions lifespan

Was that supposed to say "besides"? Just curious. Trying to make sense of it.
