Default Anyone Regret Running 37s

I have been running 37s for 4 months now and i love the look of them, but after 2 sets rods and a passenger axle shaft, and just today my front end is starting to wine after a little wheeling i think i might regret going this big....i know i know im only running a D30 up front and i pretty much did this to my self. but i wonder of anyone has this regret..... thanks

I hope you're at least replacing broken parts with with the super 30 parts

Honestly, the D44 isn't much stronger than the D30. I know many people who wheel the sh!t out of their D30's with 35's and 37's with no problems. The key is replacing the axle shafts with something like super 30 parts as mentioned above. Yes, I would take a D44 over a D30 any day, but IMO the D30 is underrated.

I have been running 37s for about a year and have zero regrets. I did beef up the axles with track bar gussets and the c gussets. I will definitely continue to run 37s or even go to 40's in the future.

The only regrets I had with tires were when I had 35's instead of 37's.

I've been extremely happy with my 35's and won't be going to 37's until I've beefed up my axles and driveshaft first.
