I know it's hard on the axel and stuff but what are the chances it will break?

You will need wheel spacers to get your back spacing to 4.5 or lower I would suggest getting some spidertrac spacers 1.5 inch

Your axles will be fine you may wanna re gear in the future, you also may want to invest in some c gussets you don't have to do this right away just whenever you have the $ and time.

spacers are illegal in Utah where I live, is there a legal solution? otherwise I will probably just get em and take em on and off for inspections

No problem lol. Just the correct back spacing and that's pretty much it. 4.5 is the min and you can also get 4, 3.75, ect.

I gave up my 3" Teraflex lift kit for stock suspension (with front 0.75" Daystar spacers for leveling) and Rugged Ridge flat fender flares... still fits my 35s with enough room for flexing AND the ride is actually smoother.
