OK this is a queston for the guys that are wheeling there trucks. I am planing on running a 38-39.5" tire open front (for now) and lock the rear. It will see moderate wheeling, I know it's not a rockcrawler but I still want to have fun with it. Am I being paranoid thinking Rockwells already or are the stock axles as weak as the storys I am hearing.
My reasoning is I don't want to throw money where it dosen't need to be spent. I can almost build a set of rockwells for what the disk brakes and lockers will cost for the 60/70. I would love to keep the stock drivetrain but knowing that repair parts are hard to come by and the costs of them would I be better off just rebuilding the brakes running them for now and starting on some rocks?
Just wanted to get some ideas from the guys that have already done it.
Thanks
