What’s the most the stock axle and transmission can take?
Yup, I’m new to the forum
I’ve tried searching here and google but I am still having trouble finding an answer.
Currently looking at a 1999 2500 5.9 V8 with 110K (automatic).
The truck is really clean and looks well taken care of. Has a huge lift. And the guy has stuffed some 42in tires in there. He used to have 37s.
Im really just wondering if the axles can even take that? And the transmission.
Whats the limit of wheel and tire size on the transmission and axle?

Can those handle 42s with normal driving?

the trans will not last long at all without re gearing the axles for larger tires. Minimum gear set should be 4:10's for 35" tires. But if you want stock power band (and not a complete dog) go 4.56 for 35's and 4.88 for 37's.
The axles should hold up OK to street use with the 42's though the front ball joints and wheel bearings are probably close to shot. Alot of this depends on the offset of the wheels too.
Post up some pics of this beast on 42's!

This is it. Would be funny if he’s lurking on here or if someone knows him.
