Yup thats it... first pic you posted was on 35x16 Boggers rear was on 14" wide wheels and the front was on 12's, Second pic was when it still had the 38x12.50 Tsl's all the way around it and the last was in the middle of painting it right after i put the boggers on it
on that first pic on the 35's the truck has no lift, and has no fender trimming... then with the 38's the front had about 2" with the front fenders trimmer

Since its raining and i cant finsih getting the truck ready to take apart im surfing the interwebz...
Ive decided im tired of crushing the caps and ripping the ears off U joints, while im not going to switch over to bigger Joints, anyone know where i can get grease less U joints (with out the grease fittings) or just a lead on a little bit tougher ones than the PDQ that Advanded sell's my front Shaft is out of a F-250 and the way ive got it in there is backwards putting the 1330 end at the tcase, so the U joint that i keep busting is a 1310-1330 Joint, also its getting new U bolts on them as the ones on the transcase where slightly Effed up making it a pitta to tighten so it will be getting new ones there as i think that maybe part of the problem

like i mentioned somewhere, I built some for the rear but got lazy and didnt get around to finishing the front. Before it makes another pass, at minimum itll have a big *** U bolt mounted on the cross member to keep it from coming off the T case and whaling the tranny again.

im a fan of Precision's super strength Ujoints. They put the grease zerk in the end of a cap, instead of in the cross. Less drillings = stronger in theory. Ive twisted my driveshaft in 2, blew up the yoke at the axle, and blew up the slip shaft at the Tcase, but have yet to break a ujoint in my truck pulling or muddin. I can get them at bumper to bumper parts stores.

Spicer Forged joints are my personal pick, I have not broken one yet with 44s. Granted I'm running 1350, and 1410 series u joints.
I believe they are called spicer life series. When I bought mine they are around 30$ apiece, that was a few years ago though.
eBay has them.
