So, im somewhat limited on Resources. really want 37's, by mid 2013 ill have all my money and such to progress with my build.

2012 Jeep jk 2 door sport stock.
Wanted to see your guys input on the set-up im thinking of.

1.25BL with TWF(Trail Worthy Fab 37 and 16.5 combo) and 4.88 gears. wanted to leave everything stock.

^
With this set-up, i only planned on keeping it a Pavement Queen till i can get the money for the lift im wanting. Worst case i figured i could cut the front and rear bumper and cut the stock fenders to flats as well.

Any-info on if this would or wouldnt work would be appericated. I've seen people make Dana 30's last offroad. i firgure i could make it last till i get the money for a PR-44 as well sense im only gonna be on Pavement till i get everything else build up

 

Get a 2.5" budget boost and the body lift and you can do it with flat fenders. I have 35's on 1.75 front .75 rear coil spacers and 1.25 bl. I assume your going to run military 37" tires, they are very heavy and I would not assume the the 30 would last too long with those.
Here is my 12with 35's with the above setup

 

do yourself a favor and build your axles and steering first,then go with 37s.not one part of even d44 stock axles or steering is up to the task.

 

If you gonna keep it on pavement only, I see no reason why d30 won't handle 37's.

 

Thats what i was thinking. i've seen plenty of people run 37's on dana 30's off road. why wouldnt the set-up work on pavement till i upgrade axles and get everything else i want in order.

 

I agree with the comment on building it up first the do the 37s.

 

Don't listen to the hype. You will be fine running most 37s on a reinforced D30 off road and on. When people say that a D30 can't handle it, they are referring to hardcore component smashing rock crawling. If you do moderate trails and rocks like 90% of the folks on here, you will be just fine with a D30 and 37s. It's not as weak as people would lead you to believe. Of the thousands out there running 37s on a D30 you find VERY few stories of axle damage. Those that do are wheeling either too aggressively or just smashing into rocks without taking the time to pick their lines.

Don't forget, the folks on here are the most hardcore and elite of JKers, so take the advice given with a big grain of salt.

This is coming from a guy who wheels his D30 with 37s pretty darn hard also with stock gearing and have had ZERO issues

 

I just broke my Dana 30 axle shaft. I'm running 35's on 20" rims. I'm going to upgrade my 30 with chromoly. Which brand you recommend is the best?

 

Doing what? Driving to the mall?

Come on.

 

Haha trying to climb a small bank. I had my wheel turned kinda left and it sheared the end of my front driver side axle.
