J-10 questions

[1983J-10]

Ive got a couple of questions for you guys. 1. I know this has been asked before but what size tires will fit on a stock suspension j-10 without rubbing (its a 83 long box). 2. How do you tell which axles are in it?

[J10Mike]

front axle is d44. rear axle is amc20. 33s will go on with a little rubbing. 32s less rubbing.

35s if you drive like Grandma.

I find these two resources pretty helpful

yep...forgot about 35s. also, you have to take into consideration if it is indeed stock height, or, stock sagging height.
although the j trucks don't get that wag sag, they can sag on the front springs like mine did.

they can sag on the front springs like mine did.

And on the back springs if you fill them with enough gravel!
