My xj has a little extra weight cause of the exo but I would love to go wider spinning hasn't been an issue yet. As for 35 10.5s you have to call to see if they have them BFG dose. And LDBs too and buies ply is the way to go for rocks ! My 33 13.50s are LDBs (supper swampers)

 

Don't forget the steering, the contact patch on 14.5" boggers is what, 10 times that of the stock tires that the steering was designed to handle. I see a cracked frame and a dangling steering box in your future.

 

high pinion d30 is a great front axle, im leaving it. if i go stronger it will only be rear.

 

what's with all the spacer talk? you'll need a wider rim to run that wide of a tire, with 4" of backspacing or less. I don't see any need for a spacer of any kind.

 

dunno about that one. super weak axle tubes and uses a weak unit bearing

 

Could have swore I said I run 15x10 rock crawler rims with correct back spacing. And I do run a homemade bumper witch goes past the steering box with 3//8ths plate. I'm at 13.50 wide and no issue!
