all he got was the u-joint, he was running boggers saturday and he thinks thats what got it, i told him to go to 1410 so there was less chance of breakage, 1480's would be even better.......i know he either swapped in or is going to swap in a t-case also.....

thats a major disadvantage for you being that heavy, on a 2wd truck you want all of the weight to the rear of the truck, preferably as much behind the rear axle as possible....

Yeah More weight on the rear wheels pushes them down harder into the ground for more traction and less spinning the wheels, if you can get both of the front wheels off the ground yer in business, except you wouldn't be able to steer
