opinions on stock 4.10 gears and l/s in 7.5" rear end

[C_Root]

One thing to consider, is that if you decide to swap the 4.10's into the rear end, your front dif won't have the same gears, rendering your 4x4 to become a self destructing type So unless you want to regear the front, i would wait on the rear end unless you NEVER plan to use your 4x4. And I know if you live in van, that when the snow does fall... that city turns to hells hundred acres in about four minutes. I would personally leave it for now. If the trucks going to the scrap heap, i would yank the rear axle if your getting it towed there, they can hook it up some other way

First, its not a daily driver. I got a VW Golf with snow tires on it for getting around, so the snow is no issue... Plus, we have about 5 days a year with snow actually on the roads.

Second, If my rear axle in the truck going to the wrecker has 4.10 gears, then so would its front axle, right? I was just planning on ripping the gears out of them both.

I am going to put an add on craigslist looking for someone with a flatbed to pick up the scraps, and on Friday/Saturday me and a friend are going to strip it down and cut it up...
