Hello dodge guys,

I have been reading this forum for awhile very good info thanks. I wanted to ask a question about my 2nd gen dodge that i SEARCHED and could not find what i was looking for. The truck is a 98 1500 with a 5.9 with d44/9.25 with 3.92 ratio I had to change the axles out i could not keep a driver hub bearing in it. So i got a sets of 60's for it with 3.54 ratio whats the biggest lift you would put under it and size of tires. I use the truck to go to school and around town. I was shooting for some 38" ground hawgs.

Thanks, James.

 

38 sound good to me as long as you put 4.88 gear or the big 5.13.

 

I have 35's on my half ton axles with the 3.92 and they seem to do ok(I did not buy the truck to race) Whats the biggest tires yall would run with the 3.54 1 ton.

 

33". You need to regear or have a chunk of change laying around to buy new trannys. Off road you will have no power to move them 38" tires!!!!! 33" = 3.92 or 4.10, 35" = 4.56, 38" = 4.88 and 40 = 5.13

 

Why would you want 38" tires for a daily driver that doesn't go off road? Are you wanting to build a boulevard cruiser? That's fine, but I hope you have a hefty wallet because tires that big come with a high price tag and I don't just mean the tires themselves. You think you're having trouble keeping hub bearings in it now? Tires that large and heavy stress out everything in your truck's suspension, not to mention the money you'll spend just to get them to fit cleanly. I would think a student would be looking to improve gas mileage, reliability and dependability without increasing the cost of ownership. Silly me.

 

Yes you are I'm a student and I threw a 3" lift on and new rims.

 

I dont drive the truck to school every day just ever now and again. as for the the bearing i replace 8 driver side within a year so that got me in the *** there. For the tires i can get cheep and the 60's i got for $500. Money is not hard to get you just got to know where to find it.

 

Why bother asking the question if you have all the answers? Kids.

 

So how much am i looking at for new R&P, carior, master rebuild kit with 5.13 gears.for 60 F&R Would i be able to reuse my spider gears.

Thanks James.

 

I didnt mean nothing by it, sorry dude.
