How long have you been running the 39.5s and what do you break?

[skid [OP]]

Been about two months on short 40's.  Nothings broke yet related to tires/ drivetrain.  Went with 30 spline longs, hub gears and arp hub studs.  Clutch is not feeling as spry as it use to.  One reason for the Iroks, only 7 pounds heavier than the 37" mtr's I was running.  I do go through thin wall drivelines fairly often.  Rocks will do that though.

Thanks,  sadly it's planned to be retired.  Motors wanting to eject some rods and oil disappears faster than I can put it it.  W56 is coming apart also.  Time for a extra cab and fuel injection.
