Ok, so I won't tell you its not strong enough, but I will tell you, you are mistaken to think and say that a 30 is stronger than the 35, other than that you have a nice truck there :icon_thumby:

35s might take the stock block out so it looks ok with the 33s until I can afford 35s

No the diff isn't stronger than the 35 however the straight axle is stronger than the ifs.

Still sounds like an upgrade to me. If it was shafts/CV's you were breaking then this SAS may be the fix.

What type of coils you going to be running?
