Well, we have been running 38s, and the only thing we did to the dana 30 was HD ball joints and 5.13 gears. And we haven't had an issue. We are planning on building it out and going up to the 40s. If we do, we will put a truss, locker, ball joint deletes, and maybe chromolly axles. I think i would prefer the axle to brake over the ring gear. It takes me a day to change a ring and pinion, but only an hour to do an axle shaft. So i might skip on the chromollys and keep them as the weak point. Otherwise, i say go for the 37s you wont regret it.
Damn - hope you got some armor under there from the way you wheel 😬
Nope lol, just what it came with. I know we are rough on it, but it holds up really good to the abuse.
The more I watch the JK the more I want to put 37s on my JKU sport. I plan to truss and gusset the Dana 30 and truss the rear Dana 44.

Do currie 8 lug axles.
@@MrStaybrown if I had the money sure I’d put 1 ton axles up front and back.
@dyakr4368 i know, right? lol, if i go to 1 tons, im pulling junk yard axles out of a F250 and fabing them myself. I did that to my TJ with a ford 8.8
@@JeepTrailsandBarbells I don’t have that kind of auto mechanic knowledge. Give me a aircraft engine and I can tear it down and rebuild it.
