Its not like rearends only come in one width, and can't be modified. i ran a 62" wms-wms 60 (came factory like that) you can get a c&c 14 bolt that is about 63.5" wms-wms. not even close to "fullwidths". some people run dana 30's with wheels that make them wider than some fullwidth setups regardless.

and why is the 9" the only option for 38s? Because they are "too good"?

the pinion is super low on those too. stock housings generally suck. I would definately run a 60 or 14 bolt before a 9".

I hate talking this far in the future(next year). I know that even with light 38's the 8.25 is not advisable. However I would like to try it. I have always had a knack of being able to pull off crazy lines without breaking things. so for me its worth a try.

And if it breaks, then I can go from there. This is my daily driver though. And I do not want to to become purely a trail rig. I only off road about once a month.

I was just messing with ktm, and I am certain he understands this.

Although with you two I believe you suffer from internet bullying.

Why does everything you post have to be with an attitude? Lighten up.

My thread title sucks though. I should have left the first three words out.
