Not horribly worried about it right now. It's easy enough. I know I just won't have 4wd until I fix it.

some FYI.... You can NOT remove the front axles and drive the truck!!!! YOU WILL DIE.
the front hub bearings on these trucks require the axle and nut assembly to hold the bearing together!!!

I did drive mine for almost 1 yr with the entire front diff removed .....but... i also tore apart the axle assemblies and re-installed the outer stubbs (and torqued the nuts)

It'll be alright

I am on 35s....

Did you end up figuring it out? I’m having the same problem.

I did. Front end steering components were shot. Tie rods, idler arm, and pitman arm
