Look close. I'm stuck on the left (you can barely see me) In the air is AIR-PUDDLZ. It broke shortly after that 1 or 2 trips.

I am a newbie of course. I get it, I'm no longer concerned. I'm sure that I won't damage my vehicle unless me and some of my clean-jeeped, poser friends bump a curb at the car wash. I feel much better knowing that an experienced enthusiast would have no issues.

All kidding aside thanks for the re-assurance.

I don't have a lift right now just because I have to wait till "Tis the night before Christmas" to get it and sense the stock X wheels are hideous I'll just wait and be very carefull. I don't really care about the rubbing a whole lot because the only thing the tires rub on are the ugly stock plastic fenders...lol...I broke one a little
35's and no lift? POST PICS PLEASE

Well, I plan on running my D30 with 35's, and I do think the OP will be fine-- but SLICKWILL has broken his axle.... twice.

Yeah, I remember the thread, but I never could figure out if he was talking about breaking the the axle or the driveshaft, and at the time, I don't think he was sure, but I do know that he was using 4WD on pavment, although it was wet pavement, one of the times, so that doesn't really count.

Here's another vote for being okay with a D30 and 35s. Just be easy on the skinny pedal.

Ah yes, true... it may have been only his driveshaft the second time-- and you're right-- there was that issue of 4wd on pavement.

In any case, I concur that the OP would be fine with the D30 and 35's.

I can post pics but its not really anything to see. They fit under there ok but I think I can hear my tires take a big breath every now and then-no room to breath.

I am running 35's on my D30. So far so good. I hit the local park and go to the superlift park in hotsprings. I do the 3's and low 4's. I tend to high center on some of the harder 4's. (Thanks to the Arkansas crawlers, I got unstuck)
