Default Tires

Looking for some advice. Looking a putting new tires and rims on my 2008 Wrangler. Would there be any problem running 35's on a 30 solid front and 44 rear?

That depends on how rough you are on your Jeep.

In theory there should be no problems at all. If you are easy on the gas pedal your D30 should hold up just fine to 35s.

HOWEVER...

There are no guarantees. One man's "easy on the gas" is another man's "lead foot".

A lot of guys (myself included) add c-gussets to the front axle knuckles to increase their strength. Considering the low price of this mod, and how much it increases the strength of the axle, I highly recommend you look into it.
