Suggestions for new tires?
Bill3753:
Awesome. I think those will be great for you.
Next, you need this:

Your front needs seals and an Aussie minimum right? A little more then that would cost and you'll have a rebuilt axle, lockright, Superior brand 4.10's, and chromoly shafts.
Then, sell your locked 8.25, pick up an Explorer 31 spline 4.10 geared 8.8, and swap it in.
Combine those axles with those tires and you'll be able to get on it without much worry.

that axle is most likly a lp axle since it is coming from a tj
Bill3753:
Correct, it would be a LP 30. It would still be a good deal though. His current LP 30 needs work and I know he wanted to do an Aussie locker already too.
You could buy this one, already rebuilt, with Chromo's for just a little more then rebuilding his current axle.
Flex:
Not that it matters but just a correction his current axle is a HP.

Thanks Bill, but I couldn't justify $700 on a dana 30 LP. Besides, mine is an HP, which should be stronger, and my 29 spline 8.25 isn't much weaker than a ford 8.8. I think i'll just make it easy and stay with 3.55s, since I eventually plan on starting a YJ project. At that point I will start with no less than 1 tons, and 36s, but we will have to see what kind of job the wife finds and get settled into a house before I can start anything like that. With that being said I ran the half tread, 33x12.5 ATs for a while with 3.55s, without a locker, and I got by, so this will undoubtedly be a huge improvement!
