lockers and 35's
hello, i just bought another 79 f150 today that i am going to be using as a parts truck. It has a dana 44hp in the front and a 9" in the rear. i was wondering how well these axles can handle 35's with lockers?

ive got a 300 six to use on the truck that will be getting a rebuild & cam and maybe a cylinder head from clifford. im looking to use the truck for evey type of wheeling with the exception of rock crawling. i just want to build a nice all-around rig.

If you do upgrde axles, you may consider something bigger than a 60 out back. I have a shaved 40 spline 60 in one of my trucks, and it has survived so far, but for the money invested could have just bought a bigger axle.
Visteon/Sterling, GM corp 14 bolt, or D70 would still be very cheap and much stronger right out of the box.
