Russ I had my truck checked on Wed. this week to see what the front diff.
was. It is a Dana 35C gears+carrier.I'm running 33X12.5 now with 3" body
lift,I'm also going to add TC lift and change the gears to either 4.56 or
4.10 not sure yet. I also am going with 35" tires,but this set-up requires
rims with less back spacing than factory 8" rims have,unless your only going
to drive on-road. The problem is when you have the wheel turned and the
suspention compresses the tire will hit the frame at the front.
