Well this worked well...
if they are 34" super swampers, the only tire they offer in that size is the LTB. Nice stuck, and next time you want to test a tire like that, check the depth of what your going in to first LOL. Nice truck and I cant wait to see it on 40's
if you're going to go with 40"-44" tires...why don't you just do a straight axle swap in the front...sounds like the truck is going to be a play truck...i wouldn't waste all that money on a IFS kit when it's most likely going to break when ever those 40" tires get in a bind

You know, a set of air or e-lockers would do a lot better for you than bigger tires... They may be a little expensive, but when you figure in the cost of the tires, lift, etc., they're pretty cheap and with all 4 wheels locked up, you'll go a lot more places with your 34's than with 40's and open diffs.

Wow, you have alot to learn, and if you keep that up you'll be removing yourself from the gene pool soon enough. Hopefully you don't take anyone with you when it happens.
Chains are NOT stronger than an equivalent rated strap when in that application. Bottom line chains aren't to be used in a ****** style recovery, only static load like winching or binding. When you ****** a truck there are extremely high forces acting on the chain and the links can't stretch to absorb that energy like a strap can. Use the right tool for the right job. You don't use an air impact wrench as a hammer do you?

X2. Never use a chain to ****** someone out. Besides, a recovery strap works 10x better.

Cool pics, but....some very foolish pics to boot. For one, adding to the above statements, never use a chain to "******" AND never hook a chain, strap, cable or any other device to your tow ball! I'm wondering if thats how your back window broke? That tow ball is only rated to "TOW" 6K lbs at the most. Think of what could happen when that tow ball snaps at the base and is hurled into the cab of your buddy's truck. It would not only exit out the front window, but it'd take his head off in the process.
Don't take offense to the people giving you advice. Heck, I made the same mistakes when I was younger and learned things the hard way.
