You should be fine to run 37's on a D30. But let's not tot fate, you can easily bend a C driving on the pavement and hit a pot hole, spend the extra couple dollars and throw some gussets on it. I run 37/13.50/17 nitto mud grapplers(HEAVY) on my D30, with 5.13 gears, open diff and have no issues. Granted I'm not trying any KOH obstacles. But I haven't had any issues and I don't baby it, I'm just not stupid and try to drive through the obstacles but drive over them. Good luck and keep us posted!!

nvertflyer, I don't know what you're trying to prove. Yes, you're a hardcore wheeler, we get this part. You also build, test, and fly aircraft - this is totally cool and awesome! But the OP is driving his Jeep on street. What have you broken driving on street? Please share your experience. Yes, things can break even on a bone stock Jeep, but unless it is shown to be a trend, it does not become a rule. So far the trend has been quite the opposite.
