Wink 2005 STX 2wd

Howdy,

I have a 2005 STX flareside, I have purchased some craiglist Ford Raptor Rims which are 35x12.5R17 I also installed a 2.5 leveling kit on them to fit the larger size Tire, I have noticed a bit of squeaking coming from my diff, or bearing.

I think the Diff needs to be rebuilt, I really like the 35's and want to gear them accordingly to that size, Any Recommendations for this Gear setup? I have researched alot but always enjoy other peoples comments, I also have One Tire Fire, Is there a way to upgrade the Diff + Gearing to support a Locking LSD and bigger gearing?

Thanks for any light you can shine or direction to point me.

This is a beater daily driver, I love it. Just want to keep it running well.

Looks pretty nice for a beater. IMO, 4'11's with a Detroit Trutrac would be good combo for you.
