Welcome to the site!

That's a tall truck! They look like 35s to me. I'm guessing you've got SPOA, body lift and longer shackles by the looks of things?
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Speak to Mike Harris, he runs upgraded shafts with his boggers and I don't beleive he's had any problems, only broke standard shafts.

:welcome: to the site matey. Looks like a bit of a monster! You will deffo need some uprated shafts and even those are only recommended for up to 35" tyres but I'm sure if you don't drive to hard they'll cope with the 37s.

You'll want to go full floater with the rear as the stock rear bearings won't cope with that heavy a tyre either http://www.rs-mfg.co.uk sell these, I'm about to fit mine in the next few weeks.

I think ruf will be a good way to go for a bit more wheelbase and bulkhead clearance :thumbup:

Not saying you should as its your build so you can do it however you like but if it was me there would be two things id do. I'd prob remove the body lift and do a bit of arch trimming as you might be a bit unstable up that high in off camber situations. Id also give the rear a bit of a stretch to gain even more wheelbase and body clearance. You can keep them quite low if you stretch the wheelbase and do some arch trimming. I've got 33s on mine with only 1" lift (stands at 5ft11)and can fit 35s easily enough with a bit of tweaking (will be stepping up to 35s as soon as I can afford them)

What are you doing to lower the gearing?
