30 or 31 will be ok with the 3.42's, anything bigger I would regear.Chris Lucas73-87chevytrucks.comsquarebody.biz
In my younger days I was grenading 10 bolt rears (3.42 gears) running 33" tires.If the 10bolt rear cannot take it, can the front? ive read that the 10bolt front is on par with a dana 44 for strength and uses a regular open diffAs far as removing the engine/trans/transfer case as 1 unit, i don't think so. I tried it before with a 6.2 diesel, turbo 400, 208 set up and I couldn't get it done. I had the radiator support out then I tried it.Ive decided to remove the Tcase first so i can inspect/rebuild and reseal the leaky edge, then its just a matter of squeezing the 5.7L/TH350 out of there, i would think that if i put the front on stands so as to angle the truck up and off the leaf springs i would gain 10-12" of clearance... thats what i had to on our class C motorhome when i put in the 454..../b]
The whole front end with the lights that the radiator bolts too. I've never tried to remove the whole engine with a transfer case before, only with a tranny, and sometimes it was touch and go to get over the front.Thanks for clearing that upSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ball joints will break before the axle gets worn. could even be wheel bearings the only thing i can think of would be a bent axle but ive never seen one and dont see how its possible
.some nice air time, yes i could see that lol
