Plus, he's only using it as a tow truck, so no real need for all that strength.....
That and the extra weight will be terrible.

*sigh* i guess every man can dream! my plan would be to use a sterling rear (what i currently have) and then run dedenbear inners/outers. the tubes would be reinforced with trussing and that would also make perfect platforms for my bags. the axle shafts would be cromo custom cut shafts with spicer life series wheel joints and full time drive slugs with 35 spline stubs. basically built like the front in my bronco but with dedenbear inners! i know that would prolly run me close to $6,000 but it would be cool!
