I have seen axle shafts snapped with 33s.

I had 34" LTB's on my Ranger with a 7.5" however they only measure about 33" and are skinny. As soon as I put my 35x15.5 SX's on, I started having problems. I wouldn't go bigger than a 33"

The shafts are the same as a 28 spline 8.8...the carrier is weaker point of the axle I would think. I ran 35's for 2 years, and 36's for 3 months on my 28 spline 8.8. I'd say keep it in the 33-35" range and be smart with the throttle and you should be ok.

im only lookin to run 33's on my 5.5 " lift but if i wanna go to 35's i want the option i already got the dana 35 up front id just have to get the 8.8

back in high school i had a 85 ranger with a 351w and 36'' swomps all on stock running gear. D28 / 7.5, I never once broke any thing, and i wheeled the shit out of it ,its all on knowing how to wheel it. know days i would put different axles under the rig. but i would say 33'' - 34''s, i would be more concerned about the d28 well befor the 7.5

If you weld it, it will stand up to quite a bit. The 7.5 usually kills spiders before anything else.

im in the middle of puttin in the dana 35 would be nicer if the junkyard didnt hand it to me in a billion ass pieces but whatever yea i could weld it isnt that kinda a bad thing to do
