Need advice guys! Use all 5.5inches of lift and get 35s(410 gears lockers front and rear) or take the spacers out and add a leaf out and use 3in of lift and go 33s? I will wheel this truck but not majorly. Im just wondering how crappy it will hand with 35s? I want 35s lol, but if its going to not be fun to drive on the street then i will toss 33s on...

Going to go 35s :P. Getting the axles out today.. Waiting for the engine and tranny and tcast to sell so i can get my tires and wheels, shocks, and some front end parts, oh also have to shorten the driveshafts lol. But I will be using the leaf springs off the v10. (going to cut off the spring hangers off the 2500 and mount them on my truck so width wont be an issue... So basically I should have a 2500 haha.

i just read this.. you have a little bit more work ahead of you then you may think.. remember, i did this swap.. D60s front and rear, 37" tires... ive been there. and to say the least, when yoru done, on 35" tires. it will be just fine driving down the road as long as you keep everything aligned and tight..

if you got questions, ask me. i will most likely tell you what is needed.
