So I went wheeling today and came to the conclusion that I need bigger tires and that I want to be wider. I'm thinking about going with full width 1 tons. What would be the best junkyard donor vehicles? I want to try to find a matching set with 4.10's.

 

this has a TON of info in it. props to cdawall for taking the time to list this info.

btw, i see your from tracy, i grew up not far from there in manteca!

what size tires do you want to run?

 

Sounds like you dont need tons.. 4.10 is acceptable for like 31-33's, the stock axles can handle that. Get some wheels with less back spacing and you'll probably like it

 

Thanks man, That is what I was looking for.

 

when i go to tons I want to run a 36 or 38 inch tire.

 

Freightliner's have awesome axles. You should swap in some of those.

 

Well, I think I do need tons I don't want to run just a 33 or 35 and I know my stock axles wont hold up to my style of wheeling and a 36 or 38 inch tire.

 

4.10s and 36-38s will suck.

14 bolts come around with 4.56s from time to time with factory lockers.

but 4.56 is still pretty marginal for tires that heavy and tall.

you could get away with a 44 if you baby it. otherwise look into a 60. the only drivers side drop option worth looking at are the ones found in ford one ton trucks.

 

Look for a set already built. It's usually cheaper in the long run.

 

and they run like 37's stock!

 

There ya go! Lol. But I prefer Rockwell equipment axles,outboard planetaries,and wet disk brakes,plus you get drive line disk brakes for parking...downside is they weigh a ton..literally.
