No I know whats involved which is why i haven't done it yet. I just need to get this truck done and running good before I move for school so for now I need to stick with what I have. Any other suggestions keep them coming.

No they won't. What messes SD up is a large change in displacement and a cam LSA lower then 114.

Its a general purpose truck I guess. I have my 80 f-250 to abuse. This truck will drive on the street but trust me it will be a wheeler. Lift will be about 8 inches with 37 inch pitbull rockers

Think I should go 4.88 then? The axle I already have has 4.56 but that can change. Teardone will start tomorrow.

yes nick i know about the bronco... and how it abused... i mean used...

As for the truck if its going to be doing an even amount of mud and pavement driving then 4.88 would be where to go. Actually with 37"s you may be alright with the 4.56...
