once you start lifting that high remember that ttb front ends need to stay level so you don't wear out barring faster/ tire wear

Quite simply, don't do that. Your front end isn't going to like that at all. It's a general consensus here that 33" tires are about as big as you should go on those half ton TTB axles to avoid big problems and headaches.

This pretty much sums it up. The TTB is terrible with anything over 33's. I had 35's and all it did was east tires, ball joints and just about every other piece of the front end.
