What axles did you go with?

Steering- PSC? Or Redneck?

What axles did you go with?

My first question too. Looks sweet BTW.

My wife doesn't need to see this...

How does it feel power wise?

I have 5.13 with 37. I don’t know that it would feel great with 42s. 5.38 almost does not seem deep enough.

Outstanding truck! Those are some serious wheels and tires. Also, I'm looking forward to seeing where you're going with the bumpers and sliders/nerfs.

for now stock axles

i have not driven yet
went straight to shop to do the mods

I am pretty interested in this as I am planning on doing a similar lift and tires. Not sure I will go with 42s but looking at 40s and curious if you are planning on swapping axles or sticking with stock? I keep hearing conflicting statements about the axles.

MY axles are hurting from these pics....

Planning on sticking with stock for now
if my thoughts are right, they should be okay unless its wheeled hard
i know of a lot gladiators with 40” with 15.50” wide and they seem to be okay
I think with the 13.50 wide it’s about the same ?

What’s the steering plan?

Why…..why would you do this if you aren’t planning on wheeling it hard?

 

[Rusty61]

To be honest I have other Jeep to wheel so this will be a driver mostly with light wheeling on a ranch
