37's Do I NEED C gussets?
Im getting 37x12.5 km2s which I know run small and are lighter for 37's. Do I need c gussets? The only rock crawling I do is at Raush Creek. Thanks Bill I have a jkur with the 44 front axle

How important is it to do gussets right away? I've been running 35" MTR/K for about a week and a half and am just now gusseting it tomorrow. All on road use, and I haven't hit any sizable pot holes. What are the chances I didn't harm anything?

You wouldn't have any problems on the road with both tires sharing the weight, it's when you off road and have 1 side of the axle taking on all that stress is when you might have a problem...

Spend the small money now to gusset the C's and go ahead and sleeve the tubes and then you can wheel easy for a while without much thought. Then just keep an eye on your real axle shafts at the flange. That's my personal experience
