I always build to the possibly with my vehicles. Is it possible that I go 40's...yes...but maybe 5-7 years down the road. Is it more likely I go 37's in less than 3 years...yes.
So my first thought is save up and get the PR60. 8x6.5, standard shafts, 1350, arb, 4.88 extra caster. $8k shipped
Other possibility is PR44 unlimited, ARB, full circle clip chromoly, 4.88, extra caster, 1350. More like 4k shipped (haven't received official quote)
What I want to accomplish...not have to worry about things breaking as much as I do now with my Dana 30. I want to be able to use the skinny pedal more and have the peace of mind that I'll be pretty much okay.
Any thoughts or recommendations? Can I afford both, yes, one is easier to swallow while buying a new house ect. Any additional expenses I'm not thinking of (steering ect.)? Any option I'm not thinking of with the PR44 that would make it even better (don't want RCV's..want fuse to be more external)
Would have to upgrade wheels and get adapters for rears (8.0x6.5 to 5x5)
ATX Slabs- 2000
Tires--1500
(Minus wheels and tires I have)
Extra $2000
Maybe it's better for me to ARB and regear the stock 44 rear, do a very stout PR44 up front, and rear bumper for now and then down the road upgrade it all when it becomes a non-daily. If that's the case do I run 4.56 or 4.88 on a 3.6l auto (heavy side) with the possibilty I either stay with 35's or go to 37's?
