Bigger Tires
Hello Everyone,
I thinking of putting some 35's on my 97 F150 after I lift it. It has a 8.8 diff. in the front and rear. Just wondering if 35's would be to much for that diff.? A friend of mine didn't think it would be but I just wanted a little more input.
THANK YOU

While not a big fan of the 8.8, I think you'll be okay. As with anything though, breakage will occur if you get silly with the skinny pedal in rough terrain. Generally speaking, I think those little 'ol 35s will be fine

Thank you,
I do plan on doing some mudding come spring time with it thats why I'm doing it. I don't plan on doing any extreme mudding though. Just your average go have a good time kind of thing but not every weekend.

the 8.8 and ttb will stand up to the 35s with no probs. even if you hammer it hard like i do...once over 35's is where you run into axle/ujoint probs on ttb but the 8.8 could still have a prob then but not as likely...don't get my wrong if i went over 35's it would be dana 44 up front and 10.25" in the rear

hahahaha, why? why not the D60?and 35's will be fine for your setup but keep a close eye on the spider gears in the rear...I had 2 sets go out on mine until I just welded it all up
