    Hey Bubba, im running 488s and i went down to 35-1250-15 bfg mud terrains on eight inch rims. The 36s werent giving me enough turning radious. Ive got a set of wagoneer axles that are going on next. Hopefully in a couple of months. Lynn, my 12 year old son will be riding with me and ill try to get some pictures. Its been raining all week in Birmingham so im sure it will be fun...

    i went with 4.10s and i like them on road with 33s.
    for 34s your idea of 4.27s sounds about right to me anyway.
