Axles, lift and wheels

[tch777]

So I am going to run 35s on the Sub. Right now I run 33s.
I have 4.56 gears in the 10 bolts.
This is a daily driver, dirt road cruiser, mild 4x4 trail runner.
We might tow a trailer with 2 atvs on it once in awhile.

So next year I am going to a 16 or 17 inch rim and 35 inch tires.
For what I do with this rig is there any reason to upgrade the axles?
I was thinking that if anything I cound get by with putting a 14 bolt SF in the rear and leave the front alone. Then I can just get new 6 lug rims and not have to worry about rims if I upgrade axles.

Also if I put in a 4 inch all spring lift on the 10 bolts will a 14 bolt SF swap right in and use the same springs?

Thanks

Tim

well for a heavy suburban I would swap in a 14sf or 14ff for extra beef! espically if your going to be towing and running 35's

as for the springs they will fit, you'll just need to get bigger ubolts.

I agree. If you're going to tow with the 35's, upgrade to a 14BFF (easy to find). For wheeling, the front 10 bolt should be fine as long as you keep it open and don't like the skinny pedal too much.
