Ok I am currently trying to collect parts for a future B2 build. I want this thing to be really strong and big. Full width axles are a must and it will more than likely be a link setup with airshocks. This will be a v8 b2 and I want between 36" and 42" tires may co with military tires (have a friend who gets them from time to time). I think they are Michelin xml or something like that. Anyway I need axle ideas. as far as tcase goes I will probably run a dana 300 twin sticked with a 4 to 1 kit. I want an axle that will hold up and that I can get parts for but will not be required to run chromo shafts in to get the job done. Not that I do not like chromo's but gets a little expensive to keep spares if you know what I mean. I would also like to go full hydro steering. My wheeling is mostly rock crawling. Thanks for the help in advance.

High pinion dana 60 and either a 14 bolt, dana 70 or sterling 10.25 rear.

60's &14FF's are a bit played out. Find yourself a set of Mog axles if you want serious reduction and ground clearance to go along with it.

If you're running 42s at the most, a H.P. K.P. 60 in the front and a 14 bolt FF rear is an excellent setup.

EDIT: Also recommend 40s or smaller for rock-crawling, but that's just my opinion.
