In all honesty, The rear end in my truck held up just fine to beating it mercillessly on 37s. I didn't want to tempt fate with 40s, and when I upgraded, I went heat treated 35 spline axles, ARB and 10.5" ring gear. I also got the truss, skid and all the bells and whistles, knowing that My intention was to mostly run in 2wd with the rear locked.It might be overbuilt, but I can trust it. If ford put a rear axle in their trucks like I put in mine, The price of a raptor would be 15-20K more than it is.
