Step 1 - Throw away the stock 10-bolt axles
Step 2 - Buy Dana-60/14BFF
Step 3 - Fill them with 4.56 gears

yeah your gonna need at least 4.56 gears but if you throw those in a 10 bolt the teeth are gonna be really small and youll just blow them up. tires are way to big for those toothpick axles. i can see them lasting if you just putted around town with them
