Unless, of course, you upgrade and/or reinforce every weak link. 46" tires are buggy territory, not stock (or even close to stock) JK fodder.

Personally, my tastes run more toward capable, reliable trail riding. Sure, I crawl rocks. But when I'm out exploring the back country I'd rather be worrying about the weather than if my rig will hold up.
Agree with you as well! My comments about all the rigs being that same was more directed towards those who can't see why anybody would want to run something different than they are running. For me I think it's pretty cool running with guy's who've got Hemi's, Superchargers and 40+ tires cuz it's their rig...for anyone looking to do that more power to you and be prepared cuz it takes big bucks to set it up and big bucks when they break!

Why not just run 40s to 44s? more tires available in that size.

Hey sorry, I haven't been able to respond to my original post yet; just been very busy and about to run out the door again. I sold my 37's for 42's but i want to go with 46's. Second, I just wanted to know if 60's could handle 46's with 5.38's. Third I intend this to be a trail vehicle only and will tow it everywhere unless i'm just tooling around town. And fourth, thanks for those of you who like the tj pic an appreciate my style; as for the others I go back to my first point, i wanted to know if the 60s could handle it; i was not fishing for your opinion, i really don't care if you don't like my style. lol...

i'm going to try to work on it as quick as possible but don't hold your breath; this is a long term project; hoping to have all the suspension parts in by late this year; have all but the rear coilovers! suspension wise that is
