What size tire is heavier and/or more stressful on steering components: 33x13.5 super swamper or a 35x12.5 all terrain tire?

That's what I figured... Really want to get 33x10.5 BFG all terrains but 35x12.5s are way easier to get/find so I might end up getting those, just didn't want to go that route and find I'm doing more harm than good. Thanks

Another question... Anyone know the dimensions of an xj muffler? Mines doomed and I think a trip to summit is in order in the near future

Here's a weird one, was driving like normal. Hit the brakes, heard a weird smack type noise and I lost about 50 percent of my pedal pressure. Checked all the lines, still connected. Now I gotta push the pedal down to the floor to resemble pressure. Went and got fluid cause its a tad low. Help lol

Broken line? Possible master cylinder issue?

look for puddles under your rear end on the inside of your tires, sounds like a wheel cylinder. You may also find your self adjuster has failed.... had the same bs about three months back found the same problem.
