Moved to Chat.

Advise? Research.

Your a long way from 40s if these are your questions.

Bah....just use blocks and spacers. You can use a D-30/D-35 combo for mall crawling.
/sarcasm and idiocy

If you're that serious, get Rockwells. Spend the money. Build your own suspension.

Your not near ready for this... thats my advice.
And anyway you dont need 8+ inches of lift for 40's, got a guy on here with 4" and 39.5's

start searching. you have alot of learning to do. a dana 60 front/14 bolt would work. do you really need 40s? or do you just think it would be cool to have 40s? theres alot more into running 40s than you think
