Wow!! That is alot of rubber. I can hear your drivetrain snapping in North Dakota.
Edit: Just saw your sig line. The 2.5s should be up to the task!

Good golly! Those are enormous. What all to you plan on running over with those things?
Are you going to weld in centers or make them bolt in like they are now?

Re: got some TIRES!((not for the faint of heart!))
these tires are actually about the same weight as my 42" iroks i used to run on my tahoe.but yeah theyre still not gonna be real kind to the 2.5 ton axles.
alloy shafts are in the immediate future!! i am making bolt in centers,this way i will have a few options on backspacing/offset for mud/trails etc..
