The problem with a turbo setup on an offroad truck is what rpm the turbo spools up. If it is a small turbo then you can have a little more power down low where a larger with not spool til higher in the rpm band. When you are on a rock ledge or similar that would not be good. Honestly if you are going to go bigger then i would just go SAS as it is not nearly as expensive on these trucks to do one as some. You will have forever problems on an IFS setup with 35s or larger(wheelbearings, tie rods, control arm bushings, drag link etc.) I wouldnt even have a 4wd truck if i just stayed on the pavement lol

College project. My Profs. wouldn't be too excited if I came in with my truck and said were putting an axle that wasnt meant to fit underneath my truck. Can I use all of your tools?

You can do it in a weekend...a busy one, but yea...You'd need to have all your ducks in a row, at attention. But, being an only vehichle, that is rough. If I had another vehichle, I probably would have...but I just put time/money into the front end...so, maybe next time...lol

I really kinda want to just do a full frame build, and drop the body on...but god knows what that would end up running...
