Im probably going to be running some 38.5x14.5x15's on my truck which has a 10 bolt under it right now. If the truck is only going to be strictly street driven will it be a major problem to leave the 10 bolt under it? If it is then what kind of issues will i be looking at,wheel bearings, or ring gear and pinion going out?
The truck is not going to be used for mudding or offroading. Thanx, Mike

All of the above. That is a HUGE tire for that little axle. It may work, but for how long.

i agree. i believe anything over 33s would be pushing it.
