Geezums. Easy there bub. Your pretty quick to start hittin people over the head....lol

40's on what a 1500? Really too big for IFS if that's what you've got. You'll also need a 6" lift and wheel spacers or offset rims to make them fit.
I would get 5 at that price. Also, hope it's not your daily driver because they are gonna be super loud, wear kinda fast on asphalt and be a bear on your MPG's. Like a 3-4mpg hit.

Oh yea, i've already saved money for an air intake, programmer, new fan, 4.56 gears, correct me if im wrong on those. Going to fix my spider gears for my 4wd so I can atleast play without 1 side going down lol, and btw does anyone know about spider gears? Would be a great help if you knew what to do and maybe it would save me money.

But I have a 5" suspension and 3" body, getting a 1.2"spacer for my wheels, if it scrubs im adding another 1" add-a-leaf and cranking my torsion bars up 1", and if its scrubbing the frame I'm taking the spacer off and adding a larger one on there, I have about 2" of my TB to mess with... Then I'm putting my 40x13.5 R18 on 18x9 rockstars that I already have.

Thought out pretty well? Add some comments on what I should get .

Yeah, no joke. He must not have put what I said into perspective before??
Anyways, those 40's is gonna create havoc on the IFS. Not really a good combo. I suppose it will be fine if you aren't rouch in the turns or go offroad. Those big tires put lots f stress on every moving part in the suspension. 1500's are really limited to 35" safely with no major reports, but can still have issue's.

Yep, I'm getting some custom work done, Getting a solid front axle for $700 with everything, getting it put on, the 8" suspension lift I am getting done, and fab'd stuff done for $1200-1500 in labor, good deal I think. It is a Dana 60 4:10 gears, and matching gears with my solid axle in the back. My 3" body also, and my 40" tires.
