going to build up the zuk with full size axls .was wondering what r&p should i use with my 6.4 tcase gears and 5 speed.i rarely use 1st and 2nd mostly 3rd .when my rear stock axl came unglued.i want to go 37" and larger would this be to much of a strain on my motor and clutch?

and Jake Palmberg was running 44" boggers,
(Sammy) what did you have in mind for tire size?

I,m running 39.5 pit bulls with 6.50  gears &  a 4 to 1 t-case works great . but the quest for a few more ponies is always there.    stan
