I ran my mtr-k 37" for almost a year DD and rock crawling and steering held up just fine, BUT, during my install of my ProRock the steering box began whining so I replaced it before Moab. All still seems good, but I might consider a hydro assist and the new JKS steering box hd bracket and frame brace down the road. While in Moab another jeep in our group on 37's did blow out his steering and we had fun seeing him get down from the top of triple threat.
I dont do any hardcore stuff, I wheel about 2x a month, and here in NJ I am mostly into trail riding & some mud do you think I would have steering issues still that need addressing??

I've seen a lot of people make this mistake and it cost them more money in the end. Whether it's lift height, tire size or wheel size, go with the bigger of your choices. If you are even considering 37's, that is what you need to go with. If you settle for 35's, you will be regretting it in short order and trying to sell your 35's so you can buy 37's.
No word have ever rang more true!!
To bad I been on the mistake side of this .

I am happy with my 35s, on my 2nd set on my 4 dr. I like the look of 37s but to me its not worth the increased chance of carnage. 35's are a great DD weekend warrior combo but I will probably go to 37s next when I have more $$ saved in case something breaks!

I don't think you'll be unhappy with 37s. I just bought a 2 door sport and was going back and forth between 35s and 37s more because I have a d30 in the front though. I'm planning on going 37s I've got chromoly shafts gears lockers sleeves c gussets and lca skids on order right now from northridge 4x4. I've heard to many people say they should have gone 37s over 35s that's why I'm going that route best of luck to you my friend also my jeep is not my dd
also my jeep is not my dd
