They don't look 15 inches wide, maybe it is just the angle of the pic, but they look good, just need to get some mud on them so they match the truck haha

hahahahaha, 3.73s

I can't afford to regear till after the axle swap. It takes a while to get up to speed, but it's not as bad as most would think...

And yeah, Tbars and Body lift, and a little fender trimming near the cab corners...

So: piss poor flex but damn it looks good!

I still have my D44 waitin to go in and eventually new axleshafts with a 6 lug pattern for the 8.8

Thanks guys

It doesn't feel tooo different. A bit of vibration between 20 and 30 mph, full fledge death shake at 40+ cause the guy at the tire shop ran out of weights when balancing it.

4low doesnt feel too much different. If i had gone from 29s to 35s it would notice more, but I stepped up slowly.

As soon as i get the 44 in and the new axleshafts for the 8.8" i'll install 4.88s


I could afford new ring gear for the rear but why go down in the front when it'll be swapped out soon.... unless the ring gear from a D35 and a D44 are interchangeable....

And at least I can't speed now. lol

I wheeled for a year on 35's with 3.55's, it was doable, but the 4.56's make everything that much easier.

Good looking truck and killer tires!
