You shouldn't have any problems, most people with pr44's run 37's

You should be fine with 5.13s in a D44 and 35" tires. Anything can break if you treat it badly enough, but the odds are with you on this one.

Go wheel it like you want to...you spent the money to play hard, now go do it!

What 'things'?

The only tcase problems I recall seeing were due to driveline vibes from being lifted, having higher numeric gearing, and an uncorrected housing. Or that was the theory behind the tcase explosions, anyway.

Just 2 different guys.... The one owns a modded up Jimmy just said "now your T-case or driveshaft is going to be a weak point and break" So it got me thinking/worried. So I wanted jeep owner opinions.

Go enjoy your Jeep brother.

There are people in the world running 40s on Dana 30s. It isn't smart and you'd get laughed off a forum for it, but what I'm trying to tell you is that you're far overbuilt for your tire size. Go give it hell and smile as you drive home from the trail afterward.
