I read a good comparison on Dynatrac.com

D30 all done. Did synergy springs as well. Jeep feels solid, tight but very comfortable. Synergy sleeves, gussets, ball joints and tie rod.

Thanks matt. I also did the synergy fox SS because when i bent my tie rod and drag link it also bent the bilstein 5100 shaft. Added a few extra dollars i didnt want to spend. But she feels better than ever now. 37's on tuesday!

I didn't notice in the picture...you didn't just do the basic Fox steering stabilizer like I got as a small upgrade when I had my lift installed, you went with the full blown steering stabilizer?

I was very apprehensive the fist time I finally got to drive my Jeep with the 37's installed, but it drove/still drives, like a giant go kart!

One tip, when they mounted my 37" MTR's, they inflated them to 39 psi! I guess it helped with balancing? But it was not a comfortable ride, and initially I just thought it was normal...

I still haven't been able to do the chalk test to find the perfect PSI number for my particular Jeep's setup, but I am running 28 psi on a heavy 2 door...

it's hard to do the chalk test when it keeps snowing!

Be sure to post and tell us how it goes!!

Ya its the 2.0 ipf stabilizer, the ats is way to expensive. My 5100 didnt even take a hard hit either! I was wondering why i had a slight hard spot in my steering lol. I run my current toyo 35's at 30psi nitorgen. I will likely run my 37's at the same. But for now im pretty happy with the setup, until i decide or if needed, a 44 upgrade ( pro/core/tera44 ) Only complaint already is the front dropped lower than i thought it would. Might add my 3/4 front spacer if needed. Heres a pic of the rake.

Very nice rig man, congrats. I like what you did with the axle also. Currently working on getting mine like that. I have a few of the parts but I'm still looking for a reliable welder around my area with a reasonable price.

I'm thinking of going with 37's because I can get them at cost plus they look awesome on a JKU. I'm only doing camping and light trails with no rocks. I'm thinking I will be ok, but will start to put some money aside for a new axle if necessary. I currently have C-gussets and was thinking of the KM2's since they are smaller and weigh less than Toyo's or Nitto's.

Good idea on the tire selection that's what I'm thinking also. They weigh less than any other tire I checked online.
