89 f250, dana 44hd frontend, 4 inch lift, aftermarket rims with 35x12.50 tires, and a 7.5ft snowplow. Hasn't broken yet, but I did crack one of the leaves in the driver's side front spring. My biggest problem is wheel hop with the blocks under the rear leaf springs.

I'll probably just stick with a set of 285 bfg mt's or cooper stt's. I think it would look pretty good. I am poor I have no money to be buyin rims! living away from home and gas to go home to fix my truck means I have like no money!

Agreed. NOTHING else will go in my trucks or friends

When I put my set in, I was in a hurry. It was late and I had to be at work... blah blah blah same old story. I basically forgot to grease one (Driver's upper).....for like 6 months....I found it one day when I was on a grease attack. NO perceptible play.

Do that with a moog...

I wheeled the **** out of my TTB 95' half ton and it held up great, once I ran Spicer joints with full circle snap rings and chromoly outers. To be perfectly honest I loved RPM's, had a D50 3rd member with a PowerLok and 34" LTB's - it went like a bat out of hell and hooked up great... until I bottomed out or got hung up due to my wheelbase.

I did everything with a 2" lift up front (coil spacer, drop brackets for pivot and radius arm) and nothing suffered besides u-joints from the locked front end. I did replace the BJ's, pivot bushings, and radius arm brackets when I got the truck though...

For road driving, I wouldn't even worry about it -
