My only issue with that truck is the 7.5 rear end can't possibly handle tires that big with V-8 motivation for Long or with much abuse.... why go through all the trouble to build up everything else to only leave the rear end alone?

Even the 8.8 would break, you need no less than 60's with a v8
Nah, I don't think many of you realize that a 4.0 OHV is almost as hard on axles as an old 302, and that one doesn't sound too hot. A lot of it's driver, too. It's probably down on torque from too much carb for a stockish engine anyways. We had a member running a sweet 302 crate motor in a regular cab on a dana 35 and a 7.5, and it held together on 33's and made 315whp. That motor saw a lot of rev-limter, too, with a 5-speed and a crazy driver - and welded spiders.
