need more info like what your intentions for the truck are...
stock toy axles are comparable to D44. throw a set of longfields or dirty 30's upfront and you are go to 40" tires...
Gonna run v8 power on 40+ convert to tons

stock axles are fine with 33's, geared with 4.88's if stick, 5.29's if you have an auto or might go with with 35's+ down the road.

if you thick you might run it hard, consider Longfields for the front, they replace the stock birfields. Rear inner axles are pretty strong. You could upgrade to Poly Performance axles...
