No, Rocks arent in my future. They have their place but just not under George. 44s or bigger with a good motor deffinately deserve them.

70U from Paul.
I have a 70B and a sterling but Id rather have the smooth center section and slightly better ground clearance of the U.
The plan is go to 35 spline using a 35sp Detroit and the stock shafts out the B. I highly doubt Id break stuff but if I did the extra steps taken to use a 35sp carrier will pay off over the 32sp in the aftermarket.

no biggie Kris, I'm in no rush just curious if you think it would be more oh a hindrance than a help?
I knew I'd lose some ground clearance but I didn't think it would be that bad using the stock bud rims w/ better tires.

Yeah I think its a bad idea. Those are big MF-ing pigs.
Ill take some pics and axle specs if you want.
The chitty part (aside from being huge) is the 2 piece rims and next to nothing in wheel choice because they run wedges instead of bolt on rims. My trucks run 20s and 22s so you wouldnt be completely SOL on tire choices. Michelins and 54" boggers both available on 20" rims.
Stazworks might be able to make something but it wont be cheap.

they sell 1 piece rim's for um now I think there like 350-500 new so used probably wont be that bad.
but like I said it's been about 3 years sense I worked on one so I don't remember much, but I thought they ran like an 8 hole pattern or something.
