I can definitely tell your opinion matters most on this forum.I think id rather just add you to the block list, frankly. Ive had my fill.
My message to you and others remains the same as it consistently has been: you got the cash for hemi swaps and axle swaps, more power to you. I love seeing big builds like that, and you enjoy the hell out of it.
But i wont -not ever- let someone who is admittedly a total newbie looking for help be steered into 40’s without knowledge-afore-thought. If you GENUINELY need 40’s for your trails, then run your 40’s. If you just LIKE running 40’s, then run your 40’s. More power to you. But be candid with new people asking for advice as to what is really involved to truly wheel tires that big because Not everyone here has the budgets you people do. Not everyone can shrug off expense of a blown axle shaft or a blown diff. Not everyone realizes how easy it is to get DW from an improper build on 40’s. Or how fast youll wear out parts you thought would be warrantied.
So yeah. When a guy says “i needed 42’s and dana 60’s for camping” with zero additional context as to what trails he is driving, when the majority of us here know you dont need them for the vast majority of the globe, im going to toss up a flag on the play. And i know for a fact the OP has found that to be helpful, because he has told me as much.
Best of luck with your continued build.
