I replaced the 10 bolt axles with a GM 14 bolt and a Dana 44 with 3.73's It runs and drives great and I really like the Swampers 33x15.5x16.5

Looks great! I would be interested in how it affects your fuel mileage.

Motor RPM seems to run just a bit higher at 70 mph than it did before with the 3.08's and the 31" tires....
I need to find that rpm calculator again....
2660ish seems about right....
up from 2338 with the 3.08's with 31 inch tires...

It's pretty easy and you can do two at once for comparison. Select the tranny (400 Turbo) Transfer (NP20
Tires and gears and it does the rest. Even calculates the tire height of metric tires. Play with it for a few and you can really speed through it. I use it alot.

Looks great Ed! Did you pull the Swampers off the 5/4 ton?

Looks good. A swap to 3/4 or 1 ton axles is the best mod you can do for a 1/2 ton SUV.

Did you lift it too, or put the 5/4 truck springs in it.

I hope you aren't saying you put a 6" block in between the springs and the front axle.

I'm sorry, sarcasm doesn't translate well here.....
4" blocks rear, plus 1 leaf, positive arch springs, plus a leaf front.....
