Man 42’s on D44’s….man I’d break those hitting the speed bumps at the mall! If I sneezed wrong I’d throw an axle shaft. That’s living on borrowed time IMO. After seeing the splines twisted up, yeah, stay on 37’s and wheel it!
I’m in your same position now and moving to tons. On the stock axles, I trussed front and rear, initially on 5:38 gears and 40” tires. RCV’s up front, upgraded steering, no hydro assist. I cannot turn the steering at all when playing. Also threw in 1350 tom woods drive shafts. had a shop tell...
I picked these up. Snap in place and used them in Moab EJS towing 25’ RV. Better than stock but still not able to see outside the full RV body. I also did not see anything else available.
