before i pull the trigger how does it handle and is the sngine strong enought for all the weight of a 37 inch tire,

 

as long as you regear you will be fine. brakes will feel a little puny first couple days, but you wont notice after a week. Do it man. Get the big meat!!! What lift did you get?

 

most likey skyjacker im gettin it from a friend who never used it cause he sold his jeep

 

i will be regearing to 5.13s

 

do you have an automatic? id think about going 5.38 if you do. Also see in your sig that you have a sahara. are you just gonna run with the D30 and hence the 5.13s because im pretty sure there is no 5.38s for the dana 30?

 

without the 5.13s your mpg and drivability is gonna suck. 5.13s and 37s is almost exactly the same ratio as 32s and 4.10. You prolly have 3.73s now, so it may feel a tiny bit better to you. Do yourself a favor and get a procal on day 1. I drove around without the procal for like 6 months, then my friend gave me one. it really makes a difference on shifting and driveability. I even gained just over 1 mpg.

 

yea stickin with the d30 and it is an automatic and yea i have 3.73s so i guess it will be an upgrade since it would be like a stock 4.10s okay this is good to hear i was a little worried, i will get a procal too or maybe like a tuner

 

All the other comments are good...but the one thing I was not expecting when I put on my 37's was the flat spots.....I have 37 inch Krawlers. Love the look, love the name, love the durability.....but the morning flat spots on cold days (in Co of all places) is driving me NUTS. run 27psi front and 26 psi rear for optimal contact patch and tread wear but still too soft and under inflated and I bounce for the 1st 3-4 miles of my morning commute. My 35 BFG KM's never did this.

 

did you do drive shafts with the 4.5 inch lift man

 

Yeah.....had to do the drive shafts a long time ago, but especially now....the ACOS added an inch or so tothe front and 2-3 inches in the back.
