Default 35"s

so as some of you may know I had the crazy thought of putting 35s on after level kit and body lift which probably won't be till the winter. will it fit? now I've already been told the gears may not pull it Ithink im running the 355s would a step up help. this any other input would be nice thanks in advance

4.10s should be okay but I've heard with 35s you may want a beefier axle

Well from what i read 4.52 gears would be like stock tires with 38 inch tires, So most likely 410s would be fine. Idk how the CV shafts would do. Idk how strong they are. And they would prolly run on the frame

Do it! u would be the first one here with 35's. As for the cv axles. You'll be fine just mall crawling. Wheeling depends on what you do. Probably wouldn't last long under just mild off road especially if you change the gears. I used to explode front cv's on my Toyota all the time on 33's so 35's on a Dak? I'm real curious to see it though.

once you blow your CV's, are there upgraded ones available so you don't do it everytime you go out wheeling?

i have true 33"s and i dont think you can go high enough to clear 35,s without cutting the rear of the front fender completly off! id love to see you do it but its not possible.... thats unless you dont care about cosmetics..... or you invent some new front end suspension components.... get to work!
