Ok, I understand the performance problems with getting 35's. But am I going to have any problems with axle's. I understand that If I push it to hard things will brake but if I watch it will things be ok. I got a 4door X. And I plan on keeping my 3.75 for a bit.

 

From what I gather, if you put your Jeep in any dangerous position with significantly reduced traction (i.e., iced over trail) then you could run into trouble. As far as on-road, you should be fine.

the 3.73's are good for 35's too. No complaints from me.

 

Why would an iced over trail give you problems? I would think with less traction it would mean less torque on the axles. Only way I would think it a problem would be if you were spinning TOO FAST on the ice and then suddenly hit some dry traction. Then I could see where you could do some damage. You might want to explain yourself.....

you too eh?.........

 

Regear....
Do it... Doooooo it.. Doooooooooo it.....

 

The problems actually occur when there is too much traction; enough to over torque the axle and driveline.

The SEARCH function is wonderful thing.

There are several other recent threads regarding this topic.

In summary, there are lot of us effectively running 35's on D30s and some running 37s.

 

Oh by the way, why is there no mention of a lift?
Or am I just being Captain Obvious here?
