22re with 1-tons
I'm planing on running a 22re, 5spd, dual cases 4.7 in the rear case and 1-ton diffs with a 5.38 gear and 40" tires. My question is what are my chances of street drivability with this setup, don't plan on flying down the highway but wouldn't mind cruising around on a saturday night or something. All opions are appreciated, thanx.

Tires might wobble on you but with 5.38 you should be able to push 40's no problem. I run 4.88's and 37's on a 22re and it still pulls strong in 4th going up hills.

I dont know what the laws are where you are but around here I could never get away with the tires sticking out as far as they would with tons underneath.
Other than that I think you'd have a nice setup.

thanxs so far, i plan on using a dana 60 up front and corporate14 outback, the biggest matching gear set i can find is a 5.38. As far as laws for tires sticking out were allowed 6"s past the flare, so the flares will be pretty wide as this is all going in a suzuki lj80. Could go with 60's front and rear and go to a better gear but i was hoping to use the 14b i already had.

Been rethinking the plan and might go with toy axles 5.29s with longfields. Still would like to run the 40s, i'm not hard on the throttle more of a finess type of guy (till i get pissed of sometimes). Any thoughts?

I have the 14bolt but no front axle yet, a good stock front D60 around here easily runs $1000+. Already have toy axles laying around from my old sammy.
