[QUOTE="Danarch, post: 448497, member: 21093"] Not sure about the “other vehicles” but basically any vehicle is designed around the equipment installed on it, with some safety factor. Going from 31”-32” tires to 37” is big change In weight and force on the axle, bearings, steering etc. and something will give or wear prematurely. I would suspect driving around town you’ll be okay with no big failure. Taking it off-road and depending on type of trail, yes something is likely to give out / break. Not to mention depending on the gear ratio you are running there is extra stress there too to turn a 37” tire. I am not sure 12K is needed to make the upgrades, but yes things should be changed out. It is all a balance and what we are willing to accept as cost, vs risk of breakage, vs what performance we want from our Jeep. [/QUOTE]
