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.

For tires try 100dollarman.com they have military tires dirt cheap thats where im gettin my 37's from
 
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.
