As far as keeping the 8.8 with 37" or bigger tires, i dont think you would have any problems unless your putting i through some heavy abuse, then your axles will be the weak point.

seems to be a common opinion, thanks guys.

and im not a fan of the rockstars, too many people have them

If you're looking for 7 lug wheels, here's some of the places I've found that make/sell them: Eagle Alloy, Center Line, Moto, Ultra, Alba, I'm sure there are more but just can't think of them right now.

One thing to remember is that the 97-04 Heritage has a different offset than the 04 NBS and up. Found that out while researching getting new rims for an 07 7 lug truck I have. I think I found the ones I'll ultimately get to replace the Eagles currently on my truck.

Good luck on your trucking
