Re: Question About Lift Height
And I wouldn't drive a Dana 35, well of course not, I've only
driven Real Jeeps, or Fords, or Chevys, or old Scouts, and Dodges that
come stock with Dana 44s.

Re: Question About Lift Height
Running 33's on a D35 is a good idea only if you need a good excuse for the
wifey that you need to buy a new axle..."See how the wheel can just pull out
from the axle, honey?"
A 35" tire will just make the excuse come sooner...I'm still waiting for mine
to go...

Re: Question About Lift Height
Running 33's on a D35 is a good idea only if you need a good excuse for the

A 35" tire will just make the excuse come sooner...I'm still waiting for mine
to go...

Re: Question About Lift Height
Hi Matt,
At least you have a trailer to get it home. I use to carry a hub
