Im gonna be upgrading to a Muncie rock crusher for the supper low first gear. 38s are just to big and make a jeep look funny . Ima throw some 35 or 36s on it and do axel flip. I wheel at paragon . I duno if you familiar with it or not peacock. But that's where they hold the east coast rock crawling championships every year and hold majority of the Comps threw out the year. There website is www.paragonap.com I have sitting out back if any of you no anybody interested. A Dana 44 out of 76 cj5 with 4.55 gears and locker in it for sale. If anyone is interested.
Now about being able to run 38s on stock difs in a jeep. Yeah ya could on street but they would snap the axels in a hartbeat. Yjs they snap over 32s 33 and bigger looking for problems on stock difs. Rubicons can handle up to a 35 without breaking 36s if you easy on it. 4.0 They good little torque monsters and reliable as hell. But finding parts for Chevy v8 still way way easier.
And yes when my axel flip is done my jeep will be lleagal i will drive it till i get caught then trailer the pig
I disagree, We usually only go through U-joints, and thats with heavy mud.. We (my friends) have never broken anything while crawling or dirting. 5 lifted jeeps with 36s and 38s, only 1 has snaped an axel. They are upgrading now for larger tires, they dont want to push their luck any further.. LoL.
agreed with the chev v8, although we have found the little 4.0s to be extremely reliable... extremely. extremely powerful for what they are too.
