:giggle:

edit: omg, that giggle was supposed to be for the person asking about the lift height. Lol. I think your setup looks cool and nothing to laugh about.

Do you have to take the fender lights off to run 40s?
You don't have to. Code 1 which is a dynatrac build still has the fender lights. I wanted it low so we would have had issues going over speed bumps if we kept the lower part of the flares.

Bu bu bu but why didn’t you just run the stock axles with the 40’s? I saw in the inter webs a guy I know runs 40’s in stock Dana 30’s wif no problem.... I saw it on YouTube bro...

We did a few runs with lots of them out there on 40s and stock axles. They did surprisingly well. No one on any of our runs had axle issues but only time will tell how they do. Someone needs to test the limits and find all the weak spots so the aftermarket can start improving stuff.

I’ve read all the technicals on the new axles .250 more
On wall thickness and .150 on ends . There’s no way 40’s will be okay long term on stock.

Do you have to change the axles if you're just going to go on road and not much off-roading just change the gears or will it break the axles I've heard it will break the axles. That looks so damn good. Did you put that bracket underneath there that supports it with the turn signal that ARTEC sells for like a 130 ?
