I have a 2010 Jeep JK Sport. I currently have Cooper 33" tires with a 2" body lift. I'm changing to the AEV 2.5" lift with the thought that I will eventually go to 35" tires. I'm also looking at installing Eaton lockers front and back.
Question - will a chromoly axle provide enough "support" for 35" tires in the front or do I have to consider upgrading to the Dana 44 axle? Obviously cost difference is huge....
