Default DANA 60's and the ol' 3.8L

What say you? Looking to upgrade my axles to fit bigger tires. However, I've been advised that you don't want to go bigger than 37 inch tires on D44's. Looking for people that run D60's with the stock engine.

Just looking for people who run that setup and any issues they might have encountered.

it's a great setup and one that we've been running a long time - no issues.

There is absolutely no better example of Dana 60's and 40" tires, being powered by the stock 3.8L, trans and transfer case than Wayolife' s jeep Moby. Why change something that works? I just mimicked his build. As much as I want to drop a Hemi into my jeep, my stock 3.8L actually has done a decent job of getting me to the trail, helping me climb big things, and getting me home again
