4:10s and 39s?
just wondering im thinking of puttting a lift kit on my 96 f 350..it has the stock 4:10 gears but it has a 460 engine in it.do yyou think with the stock gears a 460 would have the power to push the 39 inch super swampers or would i have to regear it?..its automatic not standard..thanks

thats a good idea, the king pin dana 60 will cause you less troubles, the both will be as strong with runnin the tires and all, but with the kingpin dana 60 you wont have to worry about replacing stupid balljoints

Ive got 4.56s with 38.5s and a helluva 460 and sometimes I wish I had a little more gear.
hindsight being 20/20 I wish I had 4.88s maybe even lower considering the next set of tires I buy will be 40s

i'm running 37" SSRs on my stroker and i dont have any issues with 4.10's. course i know you are running the 460 but still, it should have enough power esp for a street queen like mine.
a lift kit is the last thing i would do on a truck like yours/mine. do a shackle reversal (3.5" lift) front and 4" rear lift springs with stock overloads.
