I cant wait till I get a new welder so I can cut my rears cuz Im not doing cut and fold. Im doing cut and weld lol Ive seen it done


One more question I know the D35 is too weak to handle 33s but what about my D30 in the front? do I need to get a D60?

The D30 is plenty strong.

I wouldnt do a 60 unless I was running at least like 38's or something. Totally not necessary.

You'd be real hard pressed to find a 4cyl with a d44 because I dont think they ever made one.


Your best bet is get a 4cyl with an 8.25 or find a 6cyl with a 44 and regear it.
