this truck is planned to be a mud/trail/ work truck. it has the dana 44 big hub front end. how well will it hold up to 35's?

I have problems with my axle shafts on my 44 only with 38s. My buddy has 44s on his blazer ii think witth the 10 bolt or 44 but he hasn't had a problem we go mudding together so its not like I'm harder on mine than he is but some reason I'm having problems with my shafts. But with 35s I don't think u will have any probles

i wasn't thinking i would with 35's. it does have ford hubs on it though maybe that'll hold it together :P

Finally making some parts decisions.. As soon as I have the money..
1. new 2 1/2in duals with x pipe
2. Dynomax bullet mufflers
3.Summit street & strip ignition system

Have a few questions though.. Cab has been switched and nothing is hooked up except oil pressure and temp. gauge.. Would it be easier/more cost effective to rewire what i need or just go all out and buy a new wiring harness? Only other things I really want hooked up are the speedo, factory tach, and gas gauge. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Is the wiring in good condition or has it been hacked up

they pretty much just cut everything when then changed the cab and just wired up a temp gauge and oil pressure

I HATE electrical problems.  If they did that to one I had I honestly would buy a new one.

i agree. i just don't really want to pay $300 to hook up 2 gauges
